It would be nice to have an option for sending the coordinates directly via sms or textsecure.

And to be able to touch-select, copy the text to paste it to other apps. :) Thanks.

It would be nice to have an option for sending the coordinates directly via sms or textsecure.

To be more precise: add a menuitem or a tool-button labled "share location" that produces for example Intent(ActionSend,uri="geo:0,0?q=52.366667,9.716667(SomeText)")

This intent can then be used by other apps like sms/textsecure to be further processed.

@andr1972 If you donot want to implent this i can do it for you and create a mergerequest.

I am supporting this featurerequest because I was asked to add "use current location" to my app AndroidGeo2ArticlesMap that shows articles from Wikipedia near a given location.

For privacy reasons i prefer to use a seperate app to find out my location so that my app does not require gps-permissions.
