Hi Bruno.
Your wish to transfer any attachment such as images or pdf or other files could be perfectly and quite easily done by means of gpz. But there appears to be almost no interest by Locus users to also tackle the transmission part in Locus map. This topic has already been brought up in the past in Locus help and in this forum. The interest for this possibility is almost ZERO. Anyway a single example gpz file which shows the current reception possibilities find here. https://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=9008.msg76620#msg76620

Advantages ? None.

Locus simply replaces all (trkpt)trackpoints with (rtept)routepoints.
The export so contains a "direct" gpx route which hardly anyone uses.

When reimporting into Locus, it has serious disadvantages.
As Locus then converts every route point into a waypoint.
This has no added value but mainly pollutes the display.
The app becomes agonizingly slow or possibly crashes.

A rte (route) should only contain the via and shaping routepoints.
Through these route points the route planner can so recalculate.
The chance that the result is different from original is quite high.
Using routes is like a game of chance it often does not result in what you expect.

Map clutter ?
Waypoints: Don't select or use discrete wpt icons. (Garmin waypoint)
Warnings: Menu > settings > points & tracks > alerts for route > (un)set.

Locus map 4.25.1.3 BETA.

- Associate gpz extension with Locus map 4.
- Advised import mode is "display only no save".
- Import and test the attached gpz file result.
  icons - images - pdf - navigation.



The gpz contains a gpx file enriched with navigation instructions plus pictures and pdf document.
Displays automatically any icon inclusive hotSpot definition like the flags provided by Slarti76.
Transfer any icon without your correspondent needs to install extra additional icon packages.

[inclusiv]

Haben Sie inclusiv Navigations anweisungen eingestellt vor dem Hinzufügen des extra wegpunkt ?

Oliver.
Kannst du ggf. dein modifiziertes Locus track hinzufügen?
Benutze aber keine Shaping-Punkte, sondern nur so Via-Punkte.
Shaping-Punkte werden in der Locus gpx-Datei leider nicht exportiert.

If waypoint means a viapoint, it can easily be done in the planner. Add viapoints (blue rectangle icon) and add a (local language) name. 

If a nearby the track free located (poi) waypoint is meant, add a (local) name.  Use the poi warning function.

Hören Sie besser zu, was ich so sage 
Dann nutzen Sie trotzdem doch die Cloud-Schaltfläche. Das ist das einfachste und funktioniert am besten.
Wenn Sie mit waypoints arbeiten, hält dieser verdammte Locus noch eine extra Überraschung für Sie bereit. Sie müssen dann beim Importieren auswählen, dass der Wegpunkt mit dem Track zusammengeführt (merge) werden soll. Eine weitere wenig elegante Methode, die, wie ich sage, viel freundlicher funktionieren kann.
Sie müssen  dan auch nichts zusammenführen und können es auch niemals dan vergessen mittels diese "deprecated" mode. (noch so eine dumme anweisung).

Und schließlich teilen Sie beser immer Ihren GPX-Track als Anhang hier im Forum, so kan man viel einfacher überprüfen, was möglicherweise noch schief läuft. Ich sage dumm, weil es genau die letzte und neueste hinzugefügte Methode ist, die hier enthalten ist. Die veraltete Bezeichnung ist wahrscheinlich ein Überbleibsel einer früheren Entscheidung, die letztendlich nicht entfernt wurde. Da ist es natürlich nicht verwunderlich, dass Nutzer das alles völlig komplex und überkompliziert finden. Mehr zum weiteren Thema (Bruter-App oder Lorouter-Nutzung) später. Oder jemand anderes übernimmt und ergänzt.

Mayb tommorrow it is now too late in the evening.

Tap the imported navigation track display > Tap the track pop up info > Select Chart > Tap Left bottom Icon > Settings > Advanced settings > Select "Show waypoints" > SET.  Done. = The VIA point Icons (as set) are shown onto the elevation graph.

You presumably mean the announcement of a Via Point ? 
You can add via points using the route planner.
You can assign a free name to each via point.
A via name is announced just like turns by TTS.

@Menion

The Webplanner.
The result by 5.5 kmh is more realistic.
Optimal is to be able set custom speed.
And a gpx export inclusive timestamps.

Anyway find an advisable fine tool here:
Track analyser

[configurable]

No other route planner generates time stamps.

Well, some other do, by means of a configurable avg speed set up.
A correctly timestamped track can so be quite informative.
In attachment a simple timestamped track.  Avg speed set: 4 kmh.
According to the route planner, you need 1h32' to walk from the train station to my local pub.
The terrain is flat and simple so the timestamps calculated by avg speed are representative.

Also the Plotaroute web planner adds reference timestamps in track points.
The Plotaroute web planner seems to be very optimised for ETA calculations.

I did not try all this, anyway those interested can give it a try anyway.
Gpx downloads by Plotaroute can add Locus compatible navigation hints (if set).
Download as: GPS > GPX > Track > Directions > Download this route.

> Was ist eine GPZ Datei in Navigations Apps?

gpx>gpz ist ähnlich wie kml>kmz. In seiner einfachsten Form, ein geziptes gpx oder kml datei.

Android/media is more comfortable as fewer obstacles pop up.

In Android/data, the only way to access the Locus folder is via the default Android file browser. This one is somewhat 'hidden' but the following app gives you quick access. This app functions as a shortcut to the default Android file browser.
