Hello!



Is there any method that oruxmaps would load kml as overlay when I open the kml from dropbox?



Yes, til now I have been opening kmls as overlay from Map Tools/Load KML overlay

but my brother (not the sharpest pen in android apps) has been opening kml-s directly from Dropbox therefore overlays come as borders...



Can there be created some folder inside oruxmaps folder which contents would always be automatically loaded as overlay after opening Oruxmaps? (but contents could still be switched off manually)



After I save kml-s in pc to according dropbox folder then the two way sync app Dropsync would automatically move them to phone: oruxmaps/folder  and after just opening oruxmaps the overlays would be automatically added



Sincerely

Madis

It's been a while since you posted your question, maybe it still helps.

Not exactly sure if I got what you meant, but when you choose "load kmz" in orux you can choose kmz files from any location on your phone. The only thing you need is a third party app that syncs specific folders from your dropbox to some folder in your phone. Try e.g. Dropsync!
