Detailed Description
The Navigator purpose is to use a plugin's turn-by-turn navigation implementation in a QML application in a seamless manner. This object may take control of the map position, orientation, tilting and zoom, as well as changing the map style, elements on the map such as direction information. In certain cases, it may also restrict user interaction with the Map and with the items on it.
Property Documentation
This property tells whether the Navigator is navigating or not. Set this property to true
to start the navigation. Set it to false
to stop an active navigation session.
This property tells whether the Navigator should automatically recalculate the route when the position from positionSource ends too far from the route. The operation performed in such case is equivalent to calling recalculateRoutes. The default value is true
.
Note: Whether this property has any effect is plugin-dependent. Also, whether or not it has an effect while the navigator is active is plugin-dependent.
These read-only properties are part of the directions property group. This property group holds the navigation progress information that can be used to access the route data and to extract directions.
Note: Some backends might not provide a full set of navigation progress information.
- The
nextManeuverIcon
property holds the next turn icon. - The
distanceToNextManeuver
property holds the distance to the next maneuver, in meters. - The
remainingTravelDistance
property holds the remaining travel distance, in meters. - The
remainingTravelDistanceToNextWaypoint
property holds the remaining travel distance to the next waypoint, in meters. - The
traveledDistance
property holds the traveled distance, in meters. - The
timeToNextManeuver
property holds the time to the next maneuver, in milliseconds. - The
remainingTravelTime
property holds the remaining travel time, in milliseconds. - The
remainingTravelTimeToNextWaypoint
property holds the remaining travel time to the next waypoint, in milliseconds. - The
traveledTime
property holds the traveled time, in milliseconds. - The
currentRoute
property holds the current route the navigator is following. This can be the same as route, or can be different, if the navigator cannot follow the user-specified route. For example, if the position coming from positionSource is considerably off route, the navigation engine may recalculate and start to follow a new route. - The
currentRouteLeg
property holds the current route leg the navigator is following. This is always a part ofcurrentRoute
, so the overallRoute property ofcurrentRouteLeg
holds the same route ascurrentRoute
. - The
currentSegment
property holds the index of the current RouteSegment in thecurrentRoute
. - The
alternativeRoutes
property holds the list of alternative routes provided by the engine. If no alternative routes are present, the model will be empty.
See also directions.waypointReached(), directions.destinationReached(), Route, RouteLeg, RouteSegment, and Waypoint.
This read-only property holds the latest error value of the geocoding request.
Constant | Description |
---|---|
Navigator.NoError | No error has occurred. |
Navigator.NotSupportedError | Navigation is not supported by the service provider. |
Navigator.ConnectionError | An error occurred while communicating with the service provider. |
Navigator.LoaderError | The geoservice provider library could not be loaded. Setting QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable may help diagnosing the problem. |
Navigator.UnknownParameterError | An unknown parameter was specified. |
Navigator.MissingRequiredParameterError | Required parameter was not specified. |
Navigator.UnknownError | Unknown error occurred. |
While the Navigator is in active tracking mode, this property tells whether the position from positionSource is on the route or not.
map : Map |
This property holds the Map that the navigator is in charge of controlling.
This is a write-once property. Once the Navigator has a Map associated with it, any attempted modifications of the map property will be ignored.
See also Map.
This read-only property tells whether the navigator is ready to start the navigation or not. A Navigator becomes ready once the plugin is attached and a navigation engine has been instantiated, and the other required properties are set to valid values.
plugin : Plugin |
This property holds the plugin which provides the navigation functionality.
This is a write-once property. Once the Navigator has a plugin associated with it, any attempted modifications of the plugin property will be ignored.
See also Plugin.
This property holds the PositionSource that the navigator will receive position updates from to perform the navigation.
This is a write-once property. Once the Navigator has a PositionSource associated with it, any attempted modifications of the positionSource property will be ignored.
See also PositionSource.
route : Route |
This property holds the Route that the navigator is using to perform the navigation.
Note: Setting this property while a navigation session is ongoing will stop the navigation.
See also Route.
This property tells whether the Navigator should control the Map camera to keep track of position source updates. This property is enabled (true
) by default, and setting it to false
is useful in cases where e.g. the user starts gesturing over the map area.
Navigator plugins can also control this property directly e.g. user map interaction could trigger the property change. Honoring the user-specified value of this property is plugin dependent.
Signal Documentation
This signal is emitted when the last waypoint of the route, the destination, has been reached.
Note: The corresponding handler is directions.onDestinationReached
.
See also directions and directions.waypointReached().
directions.waypointReached(Waypoint waypoint) |
This signal is emitted when a waypoint has been reached.
Note: The corresponding handler is directions.onWaypointReached
.
See also directions and directions.destinationReached().
Method Documentation
Calling this method forces the backend to trigger a routes recalculation.
See also automaticReroutingEnabled.
