Qt Positioning will be the recommended API to use to get positioning 
information. Acceptance into the store will happen after we have updated to Qt 
5.2, the first Qt release that includes Qt Positioning.

Define bad.

Please ensure that you have configured the position source to allow all 
positioning methods. There are two positioning sources used on the Jolla 
device, wifi and AGPS. You should receive a wifi based fix within a couple of 
seconds, followed shortly after by a more accurate GPS fix. You can check this 
by peeking the home screen. The satellite icon will blink when the most 
accurate requested fix has not yet been obtained, and be on when it has.

Cheers,

Hi Hendrik

What do you mean by "bad location data?"

Qt Positioning / Location should be way to go. The old Mobility  
Location (from which Positioning / Location descends) worked on the  
Nokia N9

Zitat von "Hendrik Borghorst" :


Hello guys,

I want to develop some kind of MTB tracking application.

I develop in real device and want to know which module for position data
is the best way to go.

On the device I see that qt-location and qt-positioning is installed. As
qt-positioning is part of qt 5.2 I would think this is the way to go.

If it is qt-positioning I would like to know what I have to do to get
precise gps data. At the moment it seems that I only get only bad
location data.

I know that currently the packages are not accepted in harbour.

greetings

[SailfishDevel] GPS Location service (QTLocation or QTPositioning)

Hello guys,

I want to develop some kind of MTB tracking application.

I develop in real device and want to know which module for position data
is the best way to go. 

On the device I see that qt-location and qt-positioning is installed. As
qt-positioning is part of qt 5.2 I would think this is the way to go.

If it is qt-positioning I would like to know what I have to do to get
precise gps data. At the moment it seems that I only get only bad
location data.

I know that currently the packages are not accepted in harbour.
