I am exploring the synergy of QGIS and QT on a tablet for field work and field validation activities. I learn this functionality from Nathan Woodrow. As I understand, I need QGIS-dev and QT-dev packages to facilitate the integration of QT forms in QGIS. This require the use of OSGeo4W installer to install the packages, hence this makes Windows-based tablets appropriate to use.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px">Right now, the only way to use the QT designer in QGIS is to have a vector point layer in which the fields are linked to the widgets in the QT form. In this case, for QT form to work (<i>pop-up in the map</i>) a user should digitize a point in the map canvass. Is there a way to use the GPS location/coordinates (<i>like mark waypoint in GPS</i>) instead of digitizing my points? For instance, I can use the current GPS location instead of manually digitizing my points. Or it can be the other way around, where I have an existing point layer and when you select on a specific point feature in the map canvass the QT forms will pop-up and populate or update the attribute information of that point. Does this makes sense?</div>
