Hi guys!
I'm developing an application and a user can receive gps-coordinates. How can I show the part of the map or open the standard application?
Upd:
I found that it's possible to use links like this <a href="geo:number,number">text</a> but how can I integrate the part of the map into my application?

To include a map component in your application, you'll probably want to use QtLocation. It's not the same as sailfish-maps, but the it's the lower level map component that sailfish-maps uses as well. You'll need to implement whatever UI, controls etc. yourself. QtLocation is not yet considered stable by Qt and not allowed in Harbour applications, but there's nothing better available either.
As you note, you can use geo-links to open the default map application (sailfish-maps), but that only works for single points and it's a separate application with its own startup delay.
@Ósanwe: Yes, use geo-links in Harbour. If you want to provide a separate version with a QtLocation map, put the RPM at openrepos.net.
