Hello, Also worth noting is that Esri will soon be pushing in an additional QtLocation provider plugin into the next minor and patch releases of the Qt framework. It will give you access to many of the Esri maps provided from ArcGIS online services. Also world geocoding and routing services will be available through the plugin. If you have any questions about Esri as a backend QtLocation provider, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks. -Michael Tims Lead Software Engineer ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt Esri http://developers.arcgis.com/qt On 7/14/16, 11:07 PM, "Interest on behalf of Alexander Blasche" <interest-bounces+mtims=esri....@qt-project.org on behalf of alexander.blas...@qt.io> wrote: >Hi, > >Qt Location provides three content/map provider plugins (HERE, MapBox and >MapQuest).
