A long time ago (last winter) I requested a feature to allow sharing a waypoint or center of the map between devices. Someone had suggested the feature was already there so I played around with it and simply cannot get it to work over bluetooth (didn't try others cause I would not have cell service where I would use this). Everything seems to work, the bluetooth connection is made and a file shows up on the other device but there is no way to open the file in Locus. Please help!

Hmm, I have no experience with this. You say you send file from bluetooth GPS to phone right? And when you in some file explorer look into some bluetooth directory, is file there? If so, is this some support file format?

The file shows up as an html file on the other device in the Bluetooth folder.

Here is the contents of the file. Would really like to get this working..

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/></head><body><a href="http://mapof.it/h/cbjjyv3fg81v">http://mapof.it/h/cbjjyv3fg81v</a></p></body></html>

hmm I think that this is normal html page, so when you name it file.html, you can then open it in every web browser and maybe also in Locus, so try it

I have been unable to figure out how to open and html file from within Locus and if I open the file directly my applications options to open the file do not show Locus...

I just did following steps:
1. created new file and insert your text above
2. placed this file into phone
3. opened ES File explorer (or any other file browser), found file and tap on it. It allow me to choose in what open, so I choose HTMLViewer
4. I now see some link, so tap on it and it allow me to choose where to open. Choose locus, and voala ;)
