Re: [Libosmscout-development] Changing the source of position data for the map in QML API

[Lukáš K. <luk...@ce...>]

Hi Asim, 

I am not sure if I understand your question. Using the locationChanged slot is 
the only way that can be used for setup position to MapWidget. But of course, 
nothing prevents you to use different position source than QML PositionSource.

There is c++ counterpart for QML PositionSource. It is called 
QGeoPositionInfoSource in c++ api: 
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qgeopositioninfosource.html

And in NavigationSimulation demo is used PositionSimulator that reads gpx file 
and "replay" location changes from it. You can use any other platform specific 
sources of position.

Did I reply your question? What is your exact usecase?
