Group: Forum Members Posts: 6, Visits: 6	Hi If I pull up aerial photography of an airfield using an Androoid device a layers symbol appears on at the top RHS. If I click on that and select "view in maps app" then a number of apps that I have on my device pop up such as Alpine Quest, Uber, Zoom etc. This is very useful as I can then go straight to the OS map for the area using Alpine Quest and find footpaths etc. I am puzzled though as to the criteria by which the apps that appear are selected, whether they are selected by Syydemon or Google maps/earth and how I might add a further mapping app to the options. So, is there a list somewhere on my device and can it be edited? Thanks

Thanks I'm not so familiar with Android app development, but I would assume this depends on the apps you have on your device, more specifically if they claim to be able to open geolocations. I'm afraid you cannot edit the list but set a single app as default.

The developer of MMTracker has updated his app to handle GeoURIs and it now integrates perfectly with Skydemon. This should appear in MMTracker V1.25 which is not yet released but I have the Beta if anybody feels an urgent need. Alan
