Cannot Import KML data from Google's My Maps (mapsengine)
Solved
I have the lastest version of Locus Pro running on a Nexus 5.
I have made a bunch of points of interest using Google's Maps Engine (or My Maps as its called now).
Within Maps Engine I click Export as KML and export the entire map.
I then place this KML file on my phone in the /sdcard/Locus/MapItems/ directory, and can view it within the "Items" tab in Locus.
When I click on the file to import the waypoints it states "Problem with file 'myfile.kml'!".
Are there logs I can see somewhere to see what the problem is? How can I trouble shoot this?
The same problem 
would you like to share one of your kml please?

(i you use pc and dropbox:)
copy kml to dropbox
open dropbox on my device
---
tap my kml
open/import with locus pro
done

Hi guys,
issue found on like 1873, where is color defined as "<color> 0AD98D6</color>". But color created from 7 characters do not make a lot of sense (should be 6 or 8).
I'll fix this to next Locus version 3.4.0, thanks for a report.

hi,
as I wrote on different place, so once again for other users.
Notification about problem with defined area is just incorrect work of one function. it has absolutely no affect on work with Locus, it's just annoying. Will be also fixed in next version at start of next week (it will be 3.3.1, not 3.4.0 mentioned above).
