A few points I picked up from the QtLocation session at QtCS: * It depends on Qt3D, so if Qt3D is out so must QtLocation * It wasn't yet in feature freeze? * It only has QML support in 5.0, C++ support is planned for 5.1? I assumed this just meant the map widgets? * Nokia Maps might be interested in maintaining it With my KDE hat on, I'm not entirely sure QtLocation in it's current form meets our requirements, most of KDE only needs the data container metatypes or Position services so pulling in Qt3D and Maps and Places and Routing seems overkill. We could probably live with it if QtLocation is in Essentials and installed everywhere, but as an add-on it would be nice if we could split them up and only depend on what we really need.
