[Interest] getting location data and/or GPS points using Qt

[Sivan Greenberg]

I found this nice example :

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2/weatherinfo.html

However, it is not as easy to a new comer to find out where the
location stuff happens. I would like to propose a reference commentary
sprint for docs :) In which, we would take every example of Qt and add
more introductory hand holding text to it, this could make the
examples a true work horse tool as some of them provide good real
world practices.

Perhaps this was already suggested once?
