Custom URL opening
Hi,
i got this idea from GSAK - Geocaching Waypoint Software for Windows.
In GSAK you can have a List of Custom URLs, which you can open for your specific waypoints.
These waypoints have variables for e.g. Latitude and Longitude, so the URL for every waypoint is different.
There are a lot of usefull cases, like
Bing Maps (Sat)=http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=%lat~%lon&sp=aN.%lat_%lon_%name&lvl=18&dir=0&sty=h&form=LMLTCC
Flickr=http://www.flickr.com/map?&fLat=%lat&fLon=%lon&zl=9
Guidemate=http://guidemate.com/tours?lat=%lat&lng=%lon&zoom=13
MapQuest=http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=decimal&latitude=%lat&longitude=%lon
Nearby.org.uk=http://www.nearby.org.uk/google/?lat=%lat&long=%lon&zoom=1&layers=
OSM.org=http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=%lat&mlon=%lon&zoom=17
Panoramio=http://www.panoramio.com/map/#lt=%lat=D&ln=%lon=D&z=-1&k=2
WheelMap=http://wheelmap.org/?zoom=18&lat=%lat=D&lon=%Lon=D&layers=BT
(...)
Is there a way to integrate a list of these URLs to Locus?

Hello Martin and gynta,
yes I also think that "Quick bookmarks" is exactly what you are looking for.
Btw. don't you mind if any of your links above, will be added into internal list of recommended bookmarks directly inside this function? Thanks

Would it be possible to share added custom URL's associated to a POI's with a broader community?

There are currently just four web sites inside apps that you may add directly. That's why I asked Martin. So currently there is no system how to share URL with others directly over app, anyway I would really like to add some nice web sites directly into Locus into "Favorites (available when you add new bookmark > star icon at top)". So suggestions are welcome.
Hope I've answered on your question.

Feel free to use my url - I have a lot of them.
I will post them here if you want.

The question was more related to additional information for great POI's. If I check a POI I recognize different URL's (see picture below) and wonder if I can link them back to an URL like www.whentobewhere.com which holds important information about the "when" to be at this place. The Openstreetmap URL seems to be common but what is about the other one found at this place? Why does it show up?

Markus, kannst du (mir) das bitte nochmal auf deutsch formulieren?

Martin gerne: ich frage mich woher bei der Option "Interessante Orte" (BETA)" die URL's kommen. Es scheint das per Default hier immer der Link zu Openstreetmap.org eingetragen ist. Aber in obigem Beispiel (das ist aber der einzige POI den ich bisher gefunden habe) gibt es zusätzlich einen Link zu http://www.npsp.de. Wie kommt der Link da rein? auf Openstreetmap habe ich nichts dazu gefunden. Es wäre gut wenn man (wo auch immer) hier Links mit zusätzlichen Informationen ergänzen könnte die dann aus Locus aufgerufen werden. Als Beispiel "Rohrdommelfläche, N 51°19.982' , E 06°14.467'" hier könnten Links zu http://www.whentobewhere.com/travel-listing/rohrdommel-projektgebiet und http://www.bsks.de/ Sinn machen. Evtl. gibt es in Locus aber auch eine andere Möglichkeit solche Links mit aufzunehmen?

I would appreciate Flickr as a global photo service and I believe there are a lot of Bing maps users. Wheelmap is a free service for the disabled people and as such could be useful too. I'm not much familiarized with the Guidemate service as it offers voice guides that I don't use with quite poor coverage out of Germany.
