<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QGeoPositionInfoSource 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, QGeoPositionInfoSource will check for available plugins that implement the <a href="qgeopositioninfosourcefactory.html">QGeoPositionInfoSourceFactory</a> interface.</p>
<p>Users of a QGeoPositionInfoSource 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">QGeoPositionInfoSource</span> <span class="operator">*</span>source <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="type">QGeoPositionInfoSource</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>If the update interval is set, the source will provide updates at an interval as close to the requested interval as possible.

<p>Changes to the update interval will happen as soon as is practical, however the time the change takes may vary between implementations. Whether or not the elapsed time from the previous interval is counted as part of the new interval is also implementation dependent.</p>
<p>The default value for this property is 0.</p>

<p>Attempts to get the current position and emit <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#positionUpdated">positionUpdated</a>() with this information. If the current position cannot be found within the given <i>timeout</i> (in milliseconds) or if <i>timeout</i> is less than the value returned by <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#minimumUpdateInterval-prop">minimumUpdateInterval</a>(), <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#updateTimeout">updateTimeout</a>() is emitted.</p>
<p>If the timeout is zero, the timeout defaults to a reasonable timeout period as appropriate for the source.</p>
<p>This does nothing if another update request is in progress. However it can be called even if <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#startUpdates">startUpdates</a>() has already been called and regular updates are in progress.</p>
<p>If the source uses multiple positioning methods, it tries to get the current position from the most accurate positioning method within the given timeout.</p>

<p>If <a href="qgeopositioninfosource.html#updateInterval-prop">setUpdateInterval</a>() has not been called, the source will emit updates as soon as they become available.</p>

This could happen if a satellite fix is lost or if a hardware error is detected. Position updates will recommence if the data becomes available later on.
