Mobility/location in Maemo uses gpsd......
gpsd alone works nicely under Qt in maemo....

so where is no problem. Use it either way.

By the way the QNMEAPositionInfoSource works with Windows based NMEA devices too. At this point your suggestion does break without further API changes. I am pretty sure it does not work with windows as windows device names are likely different from linux ones. Also your framework includes the possibility to provide a defaultsource completely transparent to the application. You just aren't using this under desktop linux.

Yepp ... so i'll wait until it gets a little more mature. No problem.

Again the NMEA file fallback would hit the same code path. Yes, if you have a real NMEA source you have to change a couple of lines of code to point to your device but that should be it. It doesn't even work with the fake nmea source! The replay is never started since there's no satellite simulation. And a working satellite setup is required to start the replay.

Please, just give the current nmea simulation a try. It doesn't work.

This is not the problem.
