We don't expose satellite visibility information to applications, yet.
However, the respective information is certainly used in the service.

Title:
  QGeoSatelliteInfoSource::createDefaultSource() returns NULL on the bq
  phone

Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in qtubuntu-sensors package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Device: bq Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition
  Operating System: Ubuntu 14.10 (r21)

  I am currently trying to build a clone of the "GPS Status" Android
  app, it displays various details about the built-in GPS receiver.

  According to the developer documentation at
  http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-14.10/QtLocation.location-
  positioning-cpp/ , a call to
  QGeoSatelliteInfoSource::createDefaultSource() can be used to get
  access to the default Satellite positioning source implementation.

  On my device this call returns NULL.

  Sample code is located at https://github.com/Sturmflut/ubuntu-touch-
  simple-gps/tree/3da3dc5f089e698c34765fd18322b84727cb13ae , the call in
  question is located at backend/modules/Simplegps/gpsdataprovider.cpp .
  I attached the file and its header for future reference.
