Hi

I was really disappointed with reverse geocoding of qtmobility.

I had done a application with qtmobility 1.0.1 at that time reverse
geocoding was not available. So I used google web API and
QNetworkAccessManager
to do the job. Now when its available I tried it and results were not so good.
First all I need is an address from a coordinate, and I get a list of
places. Now I have to see how many places it returned? how close are
they to the lat/lon
that I provided for reverse coding. Even after doing that level of
detail was very poor. Best address I got was:
south bangalore, karnataka, india.
while with google I was getting the sub-street also. and it was
conveniently available as a string in returned json. It also has lot
of other details nearby things.
But at the top of the json there was the best possible resolved it
could get (provide a similar api).

And in general I have seen a lot of qtmobility like this:
"if backend does this.... then this.... Backend may do that. Now where
is this documentation what does a backend actually do, say symbian or
maemo backend.
And if you start coding keeping in mind all these "backend may do this
and that", code will turn out to be a mess.


Thanks,
Kahola
