Qt Positioning QML Types

import QtPositioning 6.4

Position information can come from a variety of sources including satellites, Wi-Fi, text files and so on. The position is described by the latitude, longitude, and the altitude in meters. For more information, see the Wikipedia page on Geographic Coordinates.

The QML position is stored in a coordinate which contains the latitude, longitude and altitude of the device. The Location contains this coordinate and adds an address, and also has a bounding box which defines the recommended viewing region when displaying the location.

Now that the device has a position, with regular updates the API can determine the speed and heading of the device. It can also define a box-shaped or circular region that triggers notifications when the device either leaves or enters that region.

More detailed information on retrieving the current position can be found under Location Positioning via QML.

• Address: The Address QML type represents a specific location as a street address.

• CoordinateAnimation: A PropertyAnimation for geo coordinate properties.

• Location: The Location type holds location data.

• PluginParameter: The PluginParameter type describes a parameter for a position plugin.

• Position: The Position type holds positional data at a particular point in time, such as coordinate (longitude, latitude, altitude) and speed.

• PositionSource: The PositionSource type provides the device's current position.

• QtPositioning: The QtPositioning global object provides useful functions for working with location-based types in QML.

• coordinate: The coordinate type represents and stores a geographic position.

• geocircle: The geocircle type represents a circular geographic area.

• geopath: The geopath type represents a geographic path.

• geopolygon: The geopolygon type represents a geographic polygon.

• georectangle: The georectangle type represents a rectangular geographic area.

• geoshape: A geoshape type represents an abstract geographic area.
