+\title Log File Position Source (C++)
+\ingroup qtpositioning-examples
+
+\brief The Logfile Position Source shows how to create and work with a custom NMEA position source,
+ for platforms without GPS.
+
+The data is read from a file which has positional data in NMEA format. The resulting time and
+position information is then displayed to the screen as simple text in date/time and
+latitude/longitude format.
+
+This example class reads position data from a text file, \e log.txt. The file specifies position
+data using a simple text format: it contains one position update per line, where each line contains
+a date/time, a latitude and a longitude, separated by spaces. The date/time is in ISO 8601 format
+and the latitude and longitude are in degrees decimal format. Here is an excerpt from \e log.txt:
+
+\code
+2009-08-24T22:25:01 -27.576082 153.092415
+2009-08-24T22:25:02 -27.576223 153.092530
+2009-08-24T22:25:03 -27.576364 153.092648
+\endcode
+
+The class reads this data and distributes it via the
+\l{QGeoPositionInfoSource::positionUpdated()}{positionUpdated()} signal.
+
+Here is the definition of the \c LogFilePositionSource class:
+
+\quotefromfile logfilepositionsource/logfilepositionsource.h
+\skipto class LogFilePositionSource
+\printuntil };
+
+The main methods overrided by the subclass are:
+
+\list
+ \li \l{QGeoPositionInfoSource::startUpdates()}{startUpdates()}: called by client applications
+ to start regular position updates.
+ \li \l{QGeoPositionInfoSource::stopUpdates()}{stopUpdates()}: called by client applications to
+ stop regular position updates.
+ \li \l{QGeoPositionInfoSource::requestUpdate()}{requestUpdate()}: called by client applications
+ to request a single update, with a specified timeout.
+\endlist
+
+When a position update is available, the subclass emits the
+\l{QGeoPositionInfoSource::positionUpdated()}{positionUpdated()} signal.
+
+Here are the key methods in the class implementation:
+
+\quotefromfile logfilepositionsource/logfilepositionsource.cpp
+\skipto LogFilePositionSource::LogFilePositionSource
+\printuntil /^\}/
+\skipto LogFilePositionSource::startUpdates
+\printuntil /^\}/
+\skipto LogFilePositionSource::stopUpdates
+\printuntil /^\}/
+\skipto LogFilePositionSource::requestUpdate
+\printuntil /^\}/
+\printuntil LogFilePositionSource::readNextPosition
+\printuntil /^\}/
