qtpositioning

brew install qtpositioning v6.11.1 (LGPL-3.0-only OR GPL-2.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only) AND BSD-3-Clause AND BSL-1.0 AND MIT

Qt C++ library providing GPS, satellite, and geolocation data access for applications.

Why you might care

Qt Positioning is a core Qt module for location-based features on desktop and mobile; required by Qt applications needing GPS coordinates, compass bearings, or geofencing. It bridges platform-specific location APIs (iOS CoreLocation, Android LocationManager) into a unified Qt interface, avoiding direct platform code.
