<h2 id="positioning">Positioning</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>Since version 10.0, GPXSee is able to show the real-time GPS position
|
||||||
|
using the Qt positioning API. To make it work, you have to select and setup
|
||||||
|
the positioning plugin used in the program preferences. See the Qt Positioning Plugins
|
||||||
|
<a href="https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtpositioning-plugins.html">documentation</a>
|
||||||
|
for more info.</p>
|
||||||
|

<h3 id="positioning_winmac">Windows & OS X</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>If your device/OS supports the platform positioning API (Core Location
|
||||||
|
/ Windows.Devices.Geolocation) you may try that first. If you have an external
|
||||||
|
USB/serial GPS device connected, you can use the <code>serialnmea</code> plugin.
|
||||||
|
In such case you have to provide the serial port id/device in the plugin
|
||||||
|
parameters. Use something like <code>COM3</code> on Windows and
|
||||||
|
<code>/dev/tty.SerialPort-3</code> on Mac.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<h3 id="positioning_linux">Linux</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>On Linux, you can use Geoclue2 as the platform plugin, but that is "Gnome
|
||||||
|
quality" at its best and you will most probably not make it work. But
|
||||||
|
you can <a href="https://github.com/OpenOrienteering/mapper/issues/1569#issuecomment-611442924">try</a>...</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Theoretically, you can also use the <code>serialnmea</code> plugin like on Windows/Mac,
|
||||||
|
but practically
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2030899">all</a> distributions
|
||||||
|
fail to build the plugin... The only exception are distributions using Qt6 like
|
||||||
|
ArchLinux. In Qt6, the <a href="https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt6-dev/position-plugin-nmea.html">NMEA
|
||||||
|
plugin</a> has been completely reworked and is much more powerfull than in Qt5. And
|
||||||
|
it compiles!</p>
