    \inmodule QtPositioning
    \ingroup QtPositioning-positioning
    \since 5.2
 
    \brief The QGeoPositionInfoSource class is an abstract base class for the distribution of positional updates.
 
    The static function QGeoPositionInfoSource::createDefaultSource() creates a default
    position source that is appropriate for the platform, if one is available.
    Otherwise, QGeoPositionInfoSource will check for available plugins that
    implement the QGeoPositionInfoSourceFactory interface.
 
    Users of a QGeoPositionInfoSource subclass can request the current position using
    requestUpdate(), or start and stop regular position updates using
    startUpdates() and stopUpdates(). When an update is available,
    positionUpdated() is emitted. The last known position can be accessed with
    lastKnownPosition().
 
    If regular position updates are required, setUpdateInterval() can be used
    to specify how often these updates should be emitted. If no interval is
    specified, updates are simply provided whenever they are available.
    For example:
 
    \code
        // Emit updates every 10 seconds if available
        QGeoPositionInfoSource *source = QGeoPositionInfoSource::createDefaultSource(0);
        if (source)
            source->setUpdateInterval(10000);
    \endcode
 
    To remove an update interval that was previously set, call
    setUpdateInterval() with a value of 0.
 
    \note The position source may have a minimum value requirement for
    update intervals, as returned by minimumUpdateInterval().
 
    \note To use this class from Android service, see
    \l {Qt Positioning on Android}.

    An errorOccurred() signal with the \l {QGeoPositionInfoSource::}

    NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription and a string to be displayed in the authorization prompt.
    The key NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription is used when requesting permission
    to use location services while the app is in the foreground.
    The key NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription is used when requesting permission
    to use location services whenever the app is running (both the foreground and the background).
    If both entries are defined, NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription has a priority in the

    (in milliseconds) or if \a timeout is less than the value returned by
    minimumUpdateInterval(), an errorOccurred() signal with the

    If the timeout is zero, the timeout defaults to a reasonable timeout
    period as appropriate for the source.
 
    This does nothing if another update request is in progress. However
    it can be called even if startUpdates() has already been called and
    regular updates are in progress.
 
    If the source uses multiple positioning methods, it tries to get the
    current position from the most accurate positioning method within the
