+Subject: [PATCH] qdeclarativegeomap: fix building with GCC < 5.x
+
+With GCC < 5.x implicit casts don't work as expected, in particular
+QPointer<QGeoMap> in m_map QDeclarativeGeoMap class when passed to
+connect(m_map, ...) should directly cast to m_map.data().
+
+Workaround this using connect(m_map.data(), ...).
