Share position as a Google-Maps Link via mail
Completed
The acutal position or the position of a POI can be shared as a complete link via mail. Thus the recipient of the mail only has to click and Google-Maps shows the location. The Android App GPSStatus has this option implemented and I use it often send the position to my family or my friends when I am on a outdoor trip. Also this is a possibilty to send position to rescuers in case of emergency and everybody can easily see the position.

I like this idea 
Did you tried Menu > Functions > Share > Share map center?

Locus sends: N 49°25.076` | E 11°52.467`
GPS Status sends: Position: 49 25.079 N 11 52.454 O http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:49....
If you receive the mail form GPSStatus you only must click on the link and the GoogleMaps Window opens in your Browser with the right position. It is much easier for people, who don`t know anything about coordinates.
It should be easy to implement this to locus if you could transfer the coordinate in the googlemaps notation. A little addon: GPSStatus also fills the subject field with the text "My position".
