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.
