Hi,

>>Please insure you check the licensing requirements as some geoservice providers have restrictions when used in a turn-by-turn >>navigation application.

>==>Did you mean the map data is not available as opensource or we need to get commercial Here Maps to fetch map data in such >geoservice providers.
>I understand Google Maps cannot be showcased using QtLocation as it is not integrated. Only OSM/Here Maps is possible.


This has less to do with opensource and more to do with attribution requirements, potential requirements to pass through advertised data, data allowances, not mixing map/geo data from different providers and other restrictions the relevant data provider puts on your application. I am afraid those lists are rather long and differ from provider to provider. You won't get around reading the TOC's for those services.

Qt doesn't really consume the data and merely passes them on. We only ensure that the map providers TOCs don't prevent us from passing the info on to you. It is your application that has to ultimately comply with the requirements.
