Step 7: Retrieving satellite information

To retrieve information about satellites, define two public slots in the mainwindow.h.

After this, create a private member variable in the mainwindow.h to hold the pointer to the satellite info source.

Define a private function which begins the satellite monitoring.

Create the satellite info source with the QGeoSatelliteInfoSource::createDefaultSource() function.

Connect the signals to the slots as follows:

After this, call the QGeoSatelliteInfoSource::startUpdates() function:

Implement the slot functions.

Lastly, call the startSatelliteMonitor function in the constructor of the class.
