Hi, I think I didn't get Alan's message clearly, but makes me think that this dummy position given by the location service as the first update should carry a flag saying "take it with a grain of salt, this is the last I checked" which in the Qt context could be achieved setting the QGeoPositionInfo.valid = false.
In my opinion, you either wait until having a valid location, or give this dummy data flagging it as invalid explicitly, but giving it as an update without advicing that it's unreliable doesn't look like a good idea, especially because it has an accuracy associated which is no longer guaranteed. Best Regards, Felipe.
