qtlocation

brew install qtlocation v6.11.1 (LGPL-3.0-only OR GPL-2.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only) AND BSD-3-Clause

C++ library providing location services, mapping, and navigation APIs for Qt 6 applications.

Why you might care

QtLocation integrates into Qt/C++ GUI and embedded applications that need maps, geocoding, or route planning. It's a runtime dependency for Qt-based desktop and mobile apps requiring geographic features. Use this if you're building with Qt 6 and need location-aware functionality.
