[Qt-interest] How to find the GPS coordinates of the point where I mouse click on the Google map (embedded in a qt widget), through "Qt" API?

[Dan White]

I am not up to speed on these classes, but I have worked with other map libraries.  Perhaps I can offer some information.

In basic terms, you need to determine the location of the mouse on the map image, then transform that to a QGeoCoordinate.

QGeoSearchManager does not seem to be appropriate for this task.  It appears to return QGeoBoundingArea which is an area.  If I understand the question, you want a single point.

I hope this helps.
