QtPositioning support

Open Krakonos opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

As suggested in issue #166, a lot of the functionality regarding direct GPS communication could be replaced by QtPositioning subsystem (new in ~ Qt 5.2).

The task can be split into two steps:

  • Research and implement the QtPositioning data provider
  • Evaluate if it fully replaces the other interfaces (GPSD, direct communication) and eventually deprecate some of the code.

This is especially case for the manual GPS communication we do over serial port.

As suggested by @pabs3, there is also a gpsd plugin for QtPositioning: https://github.com/jmechnich/qtposition_gpsd
