\title QtLocation C++ API
\brief Information about the QtLocation C++ API
\previouspage {QtLocation Module}

The Location API provides a library for location positioning, mapping and navigation.

\tableofcontents

The QtLocation API provides the developer with a set of functions for determining
the current location and using that information with maps and places of interest.

Positioning information can be sourced from GPS satellites or a stream of data using
NMEA formatted text. Once a position is acquired we can monitor the updated
position to see if it moves into or out of a given region. With the Maps API
we can associate the position with a map in various formats supplied by a backend.
Then the Places API could be used to populate places on the Map or even
specify the current position as a place of interest and associate it with
an icon, contact details and other information.

The following table provides links to more detailed information on sections of the
QtLocation C++ API.
