here is my kml created in google earth:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0AH70X7sPrjdmQ5amRhVDBWT00/view?usp=sharing
but when i try to import to locus, it shows nothing. i'm assuming something is wrong with the file, but it displays perfectly on google earth. what did i miss ?
Interesting,
I tapped on "download" button on map with your file (btw. I see no overlay on web map).
And result is small file with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" xmlns:kml="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

So seems that in file is only a name of a image file, but not complete path to this file! So it can't work. Maybe it works for you localy, but seems that image is missing on internet.
You can read about ground overlays in the kml documentation:

You should save your export in GE as kmZ !

I'll be using Locus Pro to track a harescramble (race) coming up soon, and then also to guide some friends around about 35 miles of single track. Hopefully I can show off the image overlay features from the overlay map above while we're eating supper too. Like anyone wants to look at a phone when there is beer and a campfire... lol
Again, thanks all of you. :)
