Good day Marius,

this function use very simple common method, how one application may share coordinate with second application. If two applications will communicate anyway also depend on fact, if second (receiving) application is able to understand this geo format. And it looks like that application you wrote, has some troubles with it.


I have anyway made a tiny update and seems that Waze will work now correctly. I sorry, but I cannot help here more. Thank you for understanding.

Thanks Menion.. At least I would like to know which other applications(beside google maps) are able to understand this geo format sharing(I have many other gps related apps installed but neither are called through this Share>Other apps). Maybe you or other users can recomand other apps to be able to install and try.(I would have liked Google Earth)

Marius, as I wrote before ... "If two applications will communicate anyway also depend on fact, if second (receiving) application is able to understand this geo format. I sorry, but I cannot help here more."

Scout seems to have troubles and doesn't understand this format.

I guess you set Google maps as "open always"

Please open in Android app manager Google maps and delete the default apps. Then it probably works as you want.

I think you are right. After installing 2 more GPS apps, android is presenting me the choice to choose between all apps dealing with location, again anyway. I think I forgot I made that choice in the past. Thanks
