    \qmlmodule QtPositioning \QtVer
    \title Qt Positioning QML Types
    \ingroup qmlmodules
    \brief Provides QML types for position information.

    \section1 Overview

    The identifying string for this module is \e QtPositioning. To use the QML
    from this module, include the following import statement in the QML file:

    \qml \QtVer
    import QtPositioning \1
    \endqml

    \section2 Positioning QML Concepts

    Position information can come from a variety of sources including
    satellites, Wi-Fi, text files and so on. The position is described by the
    latitude, longitude, and the altitude in meters. For more information, see
    the Wikipedia page on
    \l {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate}
    {Geographic Coordinates}.

    The QML position is stored in a \l {coordinate} which contains the
    latitude, longitude and altitude of the device.  The \l {QtPositioning::}
    {Location} contains this \l {coordinate} and adds an address, and also has
    a bounding box which defines the recommended viewing region when displaying
    the location.

    Now that the device has a position, with regular updates the API can
    determine the speed and heading of the device. It can also define a
    box-shaped or circular region that triggers notifications when the device
    either leaves or enters that region.

    More detailed information on retrieving the current position can be found
    under \l {Positioning (QML)}{Location Positioning via QML}.
