If I have a geo: coordinate on the clipboard and I create a new waypoint there should be the option to use that location data to create the new waypoint even if I am currently tracking. The use case is when my wife sends me her location from copying it in Orux. Right now I can open that URL in Google Maps, but not in Orux which I am tracking in and want to navigate to her location. Right now I have to stop tracking and cut and paste a couple of times to do this.

It's simple, you just have to disable Google Maps on Android open links as default app choose to always ask Tapping a geo opens the app drawer, and you can choose which app to use.I show you a video as an example

Thanks, that's helpful, and that works as an option, and maybe the best option, but I still think that it would be nice and useful to have the option when creating a waypoint in Orux to have it look at the clipboard to see if there's geolocation data available, and if so to populate the pop-up with that data.
