I´m using locus locus a few weeks now; I'm trying to make some maps as kml files. I´m not a developer and I use app mostly for private purposes ((recreation). I have successfully created sample maps with polylines including labels. With polygons I experienced a few difficulties and not quite satisfied with the result regarding labeling polygons. I'd like to label polygons in the center of the object. I'm converting shp files to kml with shp2kml and the file is displayed in locus as layer correctly, but labels don't appear as I´d like to. If they are displayed they content polygon name and additional data (0m), which i don´t need. Also polygon object area isn´t touchable anymore – I have to touch label on the screen to get displayed additional polygon information. If I create kml file with shp2kml without setting up a label, the polygon object on touch displays attribute data alright. So my question is how to prepare kml file to displays label inside the object and touching polygon area would return additional attribute info.
The best solution would be if labels are displayed within a certain range of polygon size and if the labels could be turned ON/OFF within locus app. I´ve read about using styles in css or lsd, but it seems to be a little tricky; also don´t know if it could be applied in locus app. I look for an easy way to create polygons with labels within using (free) applications for building kml and preferably not manually editing kml files. So I would appreciate suggestions, which would be the right way to go and what application to use for that purpose...
