How to transfer ''URL" line of a POI from POIPOCKET to LOCUS?

What I've done:

1) i created a POI in POIPOCKET with such parameters as name, description, coordinates, and (!!!) URL link to corresponding wikipedia page.

2) i exported the POI to place.kml

3) i imported place.kml to LOCUS.

4) the POI appeared it locus. The POI has correct name, description, coordinates, BUT (!!!) there is no URL link any more.

What I ask:

1) how to transfer a POI without losing such data, as URL line.

2) could you please recommend simple kml/kmz editor, which can create kml files in such a way, that after importing to locus i will have a poi with desirable name, description, URL link, and ALSO icon image(one of standart locus icons for poi)? As you see, POIPOCKET is not good for it.

3) could you please shear a detail line-to-line description of typical kml file of POI which was created it Locus? Like this:

blablabla1 /*this line the indicates name of the poi*/

Ohohohoh /*this line include description of the poi*/

blabla <icon:=train> /*this line indicates wich icon the poi will have in locus */

And so on.

And, thank you for locus! It's really great.

Hi Timofei,

KML format doesn't support URL links, phone numbers and addresses, try GPX. If you want to know structure of Locus KML, create a test file and open it e.g. in Notepad++.

Thank you Michal, but gpx format doesnt carry even the description line. Well, i solved the problem by just adding the link to the description line and transfering with kml format.

That works.

We tested URL in GPX and it worked... Nevertheless, this looks rather like a problem of POI Pocket export.
