Good day balloni55,

my method:

- open Google maps

- long click on any place

- swipe up bottom panel with point detail

- and tap "share" button

Is above method same as yours? If so, then this "share" button then really share only name of place and not it's coordinates. So unfortunately, what locus do is correct - it use all received data (name) and try to create a point (by search).

Hello,

you are welcome.

I may give you one "advanced" suggestion, that I often use for fast testing of such problems. I use this simple application from Google Play ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.ashtonbrsc.android.intentintercept ), that is available to catch various requests from applications, like this one. If I tap "share" in Google Maps, I may choose this application and it will display, what exactly "Google Maps" share. In "Extras" section is visible name of place, but nowhere are visible any coordinates.

Hope this helps.
