using the map center instead of the selected marker is something i did
by design because of the following scenario:
- the user browses his/her dives on the map
- decides to propose a new dive location to friend where there is no marker yet
- zooms over that location
- copies the location to clipboard

if copying/"open in gmaps" of coordinates was only possibly based on a
selected marker then the above wouldn't be possible
also the menu items would not work at all if there were no markers on the map.

maybe the menu text has to be adjusted?

Lubomir, for me the map that interacts with total smoothness is just miraculous on the mobile platform. I accept your approach. In that case I would do two things.

1) In the map menu, the option "Open location in Google Maps" is misleading because within our context a location is a dive site. Would it make sense to change it to 'Change screen to Google maps" ??.

2) Is the pin that is automatically dropped a vital part of the exercise? It is just the centre of the previous screen. If you are not convinced, then open Google maps but leave out the pin because it distracts from what one is trying to do and the centre of the screen has no special meaning ???

Your map is such an excellent contribution. I was impressed  when I cut my wifi and mobile data and the smoothness with which the map worked with no Internet.

Kind regards,

willem
