Hi Marcel.

The fast response is pure self interest - I am fighting with GPS code myself right now!

Are you using SatelliteinfoSource from C++ or QML?

on Harmattan I wrote my own C++ plugin to expose SatsInuse and SatsInView to QML as this was not available in QML for Qt Mobility 1.2 Location.

If you have example of working QML PositionSource code I would love to see it, as I get errors when I call the start() method on a real Jolla - this is the subject of another thread which I will update in the next few minutes

p.s. I think during Christmas I wrote a throwaway demo for SatelliteInfoSource on Qt5, I will dig that out again and give it a whorl on my Jolla.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the quick response on a sunday... I've already seen that there is
no GPS in the Emulator, but since Friday I have my own Jolla device :)

As first project I'm trying to create a simple app showing the GPS infos
similiar to "GPS Info Qt" on Symbian.

QML PositionSource (and in C++ QGeoPositionInfoSource) is working without
problems on my real device (besides the accuracies are the same as stated in
my first mail), so I can access the hardware, but there seems to be something
missing for the SatelliteInfoSource.

Greetings,
Marcel

Hoi Marcel

Good to see a fellow Sailfish GPS hacker at work.

I am fighting with PositionSource (in QML), but have not got as far as
SatelliteInfoSource on a real device - but I hope to soon, as the app
I am porting has a C++ plugin to expose SatelliteInfoSource to QML.

You don't state what target you are using.

If your target is the Emulator, then I don't think you will be able to
get SatelliteInfoSource working. Evidently the Emulator has no real
GPS hardware, and as far as I know there is not (yet) a working
simulator plugin that would provide SatelliteInfoSource.

You should find a thread on this topic in this mailing-list from
around Christmas time.

Grüsse

Chris
