According to the developer documentation at http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-14.10/QtLocation.location- positioning-cpp/ , a call to QGeoSatelliteInfoSource::createDefaultSource() can be used to get access to the default Satellite positioning source implementation. On my device this call returns NULL. Sample code is located at https://github.com/Sturmflut/ubuntu-touch- simple-gps/tree/3da3dc5f089e698c34765fd18322b84727cb13ae , the call in question is located at backend/modules/Simplegps/gpsdataprovider.cpp . I attached the file and its header for future reference.
