## Detailed Description

To load the Qt Positioning module, add the following statement to your .qml files

     import QtPositioning 5.11

For C++ projects include the header appropriate for the current use case, for example applications using routes may use

     #include <QGeoCoordinate>

The .pro file should have the positioning keyword added

     QT += positioning
