    Hi All,
    I'd like to know if some of you know how can use an external USB or BlueTooth GPS.
    I know that I can't use Mobility API because are only available for mobile devices.
    Thanks.

      You can use the QNmeaPositionInfoSource from the Qt Mobility Location API, provided that you can get access to the NMEA data from the device as a QIODevice (file, socket, etc...)

        Hi,

        as QIODevice, you can use "QextSerialPort":http://qextserialport.sourceforge.net/
