<div class="descr">
<h2 id="details">Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html">QGeoPositionInfoSource</a> class is an abstract base class for the distribution of positional updates.</p>
<p>The static function <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#createDefaultSource">QGeoPositionInfoSource::createDefaultSource</a>() creates a default position source that is appropriate for the platform, if one is available. Otherwise, <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html">QGeoPositionInfoSource</a> will check for available plugins that implement the <a href="qgeopositioninfosourcefactory.html">QGeoPositionInfoSourceFactory</a> interface.</p>
<p>Users of a <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html">QGeoPositionInfoSource</a> subclass can request the current position using <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#requestUpdate">requestUpdate</a>(), or start and stop regular position updates using <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#startUpdates">startUpdates</a>() and <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#stopUpdates">stopUpdates</a>(). When an update is available, <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#positionUpdated">positionUpdated</a>() is emitted. The last known position can be accessed with <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#lastKnownPosition">lastKnownPosition</a>().</p>
<p>If regular position updates are required, <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#updateInterval-prop">setUpdateInterval</a>() can be used to specify how often these updates should be emitted. If no interval is specified, updates are simply provided whenever they are available. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp"><span class="comment">// Emit updates every 10 seconds if available</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#QGeoPositionInfoSource">QGeoPositionInfoSource</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>source <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="type"><a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#QGeoPositionInfoSource">QGeoPositionInfoSource</a></span><span class="operator">::</span><a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#createDefaultSource">createDefaultSource</a>(<span class="number">0</span>);
<span class="keyword">if</span> (source)
    source<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span><a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#updateInterval-prop">setUpdateInterval</a>(<span class="number">10000</span>);</pre>
<p>To remove an update interval that was previously set, call <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#updateInterval-prop">setUpdateInterval</a>() with a value of 0.</p>
<p>Note that the position source may have a minimum value requirement for update intervals, as returned by <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#minimumUpdateInterval-prop">minimumUpdateInterval</a>().</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> On Windows CE it is not possible to detect if a device is GPS enabled. The default position source on a Windows CE device without GPS support will never provide any position data.</p>

<p>On iOS, starting from version 8, Core Location framework requires additional entries in the application's Info.plist with keys NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription or NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription and a string to be displayed in the authorization prompt. The key NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription is used when requesting permission to use location services while the app is in the foreground. The key NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription is used when requesting permission to use location services whenever the app is running (both the foreground and the background). If both entries are defined, NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription has a priority in the foreground mode.</p>

<p>While the triggering of this signal may be considered an error condition, it does not imply the emission of the <code>error()</code> signal. Only the emission of <code>updateTimeout()</code> is required to indicate a timeout.</p>
