Comment 3 for bug 1604446

And to expand on this: even when requesting a single position with getCurrentPosition, oxide calls in to QGeoPositionInfoSource::startUpdates()¹. I wonder if there’s a bug in QtPositioning, or maybe incorrect documentation, as on my laptop (which doesn’t have a GPS chipset), when calling startUpdates() I’m getting a positionUpdated() signal almost instantly, with what seems to be the last known position, and its timestamp is 2016-03-24, i.e. 4 months ago. So it looks like it’s not even trying to get an updated position. Maybe it does, but prior to this it returns the last known position, and since we requested only one position (not regular updates), the source is shut down right away, thus not giving it time to get an actual update?
