QNmeaPositionInfoSource

NMEA is a commonly used protocol for the specification of one's global position at a certain point in time. The QNmeaPositionInfoSource class reads NMEA data and uses it to provide positional data in the form of QGeoPositionInfo objects.

A QNmeaPositionInfoSource instance operates in either {RealTimeMode} or {SimulationMode}. These modes allow NMEA data to be read from either a live source of positional data, or replayed for simulation purposes from previously recorded NMEA data.

The source of NMEA data is set with setDevice().

Use startUpdates() to start receiving regular position updates and stopUpdates() to stop these updates. If you only require updates occasionally, you can call requestUpdate() to request a single update.

In both cases the position information is received via the positionUpdated() signal and the last known position can be accessed with lastKnownPosition().
