locus-actions:// and www bookmarks tiny enhancements
Gathering feedback
My goal is still to "tap a single button" and have custom data appear in Locus instantly. No "imports", no web browsers, no navigating through menus or directory structures, no rubbish user interface, just a single tap.
Locus has everything for that builtin already, it's all just a question of tying together a few lose ends here and there. Quick WWW Bookmarks could work together with locus-actions to accomplish that goal. Imagine the following action:
I like this idea 
Hello Stefan,
I think you may already accomplish this task, but little bit different.
1. define bookmark to own server over locus-actions, like this:
locus-actions://http/myserver.com/getmydata.php?type=kmz&lat={lat}&lon={lng}
2. tap on this link should forward action to Locus itself (in next version this should already work) and Locus should then call link http://myserver.com/getmydata.php?type=kmz&lat=Y&lon=X and download XML from there
3. on your server, handle received request and generate XML with all actions you require. <after>displayData</after> should work.
If something won't work in method above, let me know.
