    \brief The QGeoServiceProvider class aggregates access to services which provide
    geographical information.
 
    The Maps and Navigation API allows people to access various kinds of
    geographical information, including functionality to perform geocoding,
    routing and the display of maps.  The QGeoServiceProvider aggregates the
    access to a set of these services that are provided by a single vendor.
 
    It is possible to mix and match service providers for the various domains,
    so that a geocoding manager from one service provider can be used with
    a geographic routing manager from another service provider.
 
    This is not recommended unless the client is able to verify that the
    data provided by the different services are compatible, as differences
    in the underlying data sets could cause serious incongruences between
    the services.
 
    Subclasses of QGeoServiceProvider guarantee that the different services
    that they provide are interoperable.
 
    Each service provider must follow a naming convention for their service specific
    parameter names/keys. They use the provider name as prefix for all their
    parameter names. When a provider is loaded only those parameters are
    passed on whose parameter names start with the provider name. This avoids the sharing
    sensitive parameters such as confidential \c token or \c app_id parameters with other
    plugins.
 
    Please check the GeoServices plugin specific documentation to
    obtain a complete list of the available parameter names/keys and values.
