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

So, the wether info example is pointed at from
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2/location-overview.html as an
example to using location data, but even when skimming through the
source of the weather info example, I can't see where it actually
fetched location data through mobility... am I overlooking something
or is this a doc bug bug I should report?

Thanks!

(sorry for the series of emails..)
