qt - network based location acquisition - qt

I need to get geolocation for phones without gps. The only way to do is through mobile network information. I can get few required information like cellid and signal strength for google's api http://code.google.com/p/gears/wiki/GeolocationAPI unfortunately its deprecated.
Is there any way in Nokia Qt to get S60 phone location without GPS

For this purpose you can use Qt Mobility Project API.
In QtMobility package there is a API called "Location".
The Location API provides a library for distributing and receiving location data using arbitrary data sources.

Is it possible to access native cell-phone or device APIs using Blazor to access camera, contacts etc?

As Blazor let us build code for client side development, I was wondering whether there is any possibility to access native device APIs for cameras, contacts, etc.?
I have looked into a few documentation including this
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/javascript-interop?view=aspnetcore-3.0
However, I could not find any answer
There no standard libraries shipped by MS, but there a lot of community libraries which wrap access to JS API in the browser:
Large list compiled here: https://github.com/AdrienTorris/awesome-blazor#libraries--extensions
Geolocation: https://github.com/AspNetMonsters/Blazor.Geolocation
Sensors: https://github.com/AspNetMonsters/Blazor.Sensors
Speech Synthesis API: https://github.com/jsakamoto/Toolbelt.Blazor.SpeechSynthesis
Storage: https://github.com/BlazorExtensions/Storage
Notifications API: https://github.com/BlazorExtensions/Notifications
Canvas: https://github.com/BlazorExtensions/Canvas
This is not all list of extensions created by community, so free to look at the existing options.

How to connect to bluetooth services like PBAB with Qt?

I am trying to read contacts from my phone to my Linux machine using Qt application. I am only able to pair my phone, but unable to connect / read contacts from it. In fact I'm not sure about the exact api to be used to connect to PBAB profile.
I found samples using dbus to connect to PBAB profile and read contacts. But I would like to know if QBluetooth module support the same if so how to use it.
Hope somebody can help me out in this case.
Thanks in advance :)

Gracenote Entourage Movie Lookup

I am using the Gracenote Entourage SDK for iOS and am able to recognize Live TV shows however when I try to recognize a Movie either from DVD or VOD it returns no matches. I have signed up for the Accelerator program which should give me access to the full database rather than the last seven days of aired broadcasts.
Can anyone provide an example returning movie data? Should I have access to this data with the Accelerator Plan?
Accelerator program gives you access to publicly available API's for commercial use. However, recognizing DVD or VOD is currently available to enterprise customers only.

Looking for best Google Solution for mapping GPS points in custom application or webpage in .Net / SQL

Large quantity of GPS devices in the field with varying "heartbeats" of coordinates relayed over cellular network to dedicated SQL box with .Net frontend. Would like to utilize Google Earth within application for mapping and tracking selected units. Any suggestions on which Google product and associated API is most applicable?
try this. navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition will use the GPS to get current location on mobile devices.

Is it possible to use Google Maps disconnected from the Internet?

I have been tasked with building an offline web application that will display maps and also display locations and routes of objects. The requirements are that it run in a web browser, but it will run on a disconnected laptop. It will be receiving continuous, real-time map coordinates data and continuously updating the location of objects and also display historical route data. Is it possible to somehow use Google Maps for this? I know that Google recently announced support for offline maps - but I got the feeling that was specifically for the Android OS and also specifically for mobile devices. If not, Google Maps - does anyone have any suggestions for which mapping technology, API or software would be best for this type of application?
No. This is not possible. You have to load the maps dynamically from the web and you are not allowed to cache information (*you can cache a small amount of information temporarily, but you cannot do bulk or mass downloads).
See Section 10.1.3 of the terms of service:
