Transfer a waypoint from a Locus to another with all the fields filled as the original waypoint

Fifi shared this idea 12 years ago
Gathering feedback

Parameters:


1. On a smartphone "A", i create a waypoint containing :


. description


. photo(s)


. altitude


. address


2. I export the waypoint through a KMZ (with description) or a GPX.


3. On a smartphone "B" with Locus, i import this KMZ or this GPX.


4. Result :


When we look at the newly created waypoint on the smartphone "B" :


4a . If imported from a KMZ :


.The photo, altitude, address and description are all in the description


field displayed with HTML tags.


. Fields "photo", "altitude", "address" do not import KMZ data and remain empty, the description field is not the same than the original one.


4b . If imported from a GPX :


.The photo, altitude, address and description are all in the description


field displayed with HTML tags.


. Fields "altitude", "address" are filled.


. Field "photo" is empty.


. The description field is not the same than the original one.


Question:


Is it possible to imagine a way to transfer a waypoint with a KMZ (or possibly another format), from a Locus to another just like it was originally created ?


Kind regards,

Maybe little bugs here but to my knowledge we have a bigger problem namely the merge of tracks.db and waypoints.db (are there more dbs?) between devices.


Synchronisation (Foldersync apps) of the complete db files is no solution.

As Tommi said, you probably found a bug, Congrats! ;)


About merging the db files... It is complicated, but could be solved like this:

About kmz export from Locus -> import to Locus:


I agree with fifi. Locus should read his own files


But I`m not sure if it exist general standards.


And It makes no sense to create own locus rules for kml gpx
