\title Qt Location Items Overlay Plugin
\ingroup QtLocation-plugins
 
\brief Provides an empty map intended to be used as background for an overlay layers for map items.
 
\section1 Overview
 
This geo services plugin is a special plugin providing only an empty map.
This plugin provides no services, and is intended to be used in those cases where a \l Map element should
only show the added map items.
 
The Items Overlay geo services plugin can be loaded by using the plugin key "itemsoverlay".
 
\section1 Example usage
 
The following snippet shows how a Map using this plugin can be added as an overlay to display
anti-aliased map items.
Note that for such an overlay Map to be transparent, it is also necessary to set its color to
a transparent one, such as \b transparent, like in the example.
