Ok, i have looked a little deeper into this. The main reason that 
GNmeaPostionInfoSource is not available as a default for QGeoPositionInfoSource 
may be the fact that the Nmea source needs to be told where to get its data 
from (why not offer it as a default via /dev/gps?). 

There may be cases where having an nmea class may seem useful, especially on 
embedded devices where any additional layer costs precious memory. But in 
general there's imho no valid reason for qt to talk directly to an nmea device. 
This is like giving qt its own video card driver. 

So the only useful solution for desktop linux seems to write a 
QGpsdPositionInfoSource. This can then easily be made system default as there's 
no additional configuration required to connect to a local gpsd.

Has anyone actually started working on something like this? If not i might put 
some work on this, but i'd really like to see these efforts not no be a waste 
of time since someone wither better qt knownledge does the same.

Till
