+ \title Places Map (QML)
+ \ingroup qtlocation-examples
+
+ \brief The Places Map example demonstrates how to search for and display a list of places
+ on a map using a MapItemView
+ \image places_map.png
+
+ The example displays a map of the current location or, if no position is
+ available, it uses Brisbane/Australia. Subsequently a search for places
+ matching the term "pizza" is performed and each result shown on the map.
+
+ \include examples-run.qdocinc
+
+ \section1 Local Search
+
+ To write the QML application that will show places on a map, we start by
+ making the following import declarations.
+
+ \snippet places_map/places_map.qml Imports
+
+ Instantiate a \l Plugin instance. The \l Plugin is effectively the backend
+ from where places are sourced from. Depending on the chosen plugin
+ some manadatory parameters may be needed. In this case the
+ \l {Qt Location Open Street Map Plugin}{OSM plugin} is selected which does not have any mandatory
+ parameters.
+
+ \snippet places_map/places_map.qml Initialize Plugin
+
+ Next we instantiate a \l PlaceSearchModel which we can use to specify
+ search parameters and perform a places search operation. For illustrative
+ purposes, \l {PlaceSearchModel::update} {update()} is invoked once
+ construction of the model is complete. Typically \l
+ {PlaceSearchModel::update} {update()} would be invoked in response to a
+ user action such as a button click.
+
+ \snippet places_map/places_map.qml PlaceSearchModel
+
+ The map is displayed by using the \l Map type and inside we declare the \l
+ MapItemView and supply the search model and a delegate. An inline delegate
+ has been used and we have assumed that every search result is of \l {Search
+ Result Types} {type} \c PlaceSerachesult. Consequently it is assumed that
+ we always have access to the \e place \l {PlaceSearchModel Roles} {role},
+ other search result types may not have a \e place \l {PlaceSearchModel
+ Roles} {role}.
+
+ \snippet places_map/places_map.qml Places MapItemView
+
+ Finally, a \c PositionSource is used to reset the map to the curent
+ location and find "pizza" places in the new area. The position information
+ is updated every 2 minutes and if the new position is more than 500 meters
+ away from the last pizza search area the place search is retriggered.
