Hi all,

I have been using Orux for a while now for firefighting in Australia, while it is an excellent mapping tool i cannot find a way to share overlays between machines without losing information.

I can draw an overlay of fire extent (a red line and a semi-transparent red fill) and save it to my track database. It will then display correctly if i remove it and display it again.

However i cannot find a way to save it as a file, and have it re-display in the original colours and fill. I have tried saving it as a KML and all the other types but only KML shows up when loading an overlay.   
This would be useful so we can distinguish between active fire and previously burnt area.

It would also be very useful to be able to display GeoJson information (such as that published by the NSW RFS at https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/fires-near-me (you will have to scroll to the south of NSW to see anytyhing, but large fire extents are shown as grey polygons

Any ideas gratefully received

Thanks in advance
Al
