Sharing location via magic earth without GPS on

And is there a way to share the location in a format that does work independently of what navigation app the receiver uses?

Using coordinates prefixed with geo: is quite an universal way to share location. Addresses are in the form of geo:0,0?q=arbitrary text for an address

I was recently looking into this, did contact MagicEarth (with a reply) and pushing an old bug entry for this and Manoj did reopen the issue. But it’s up to ME developers to make time for this.

… other apps, like the ubiquitous gmaps?

Organicmaps can handle most of them, but doesn’t generate them. But it’s a good app to handle incoming Google Maps location shares: Location location location (google link) - #3 by tcecyk - MagicEarth can handle some of the Google Maps. But both apps obviously don’t generate gmaps-type location share links. They should use geo:-urls too (they don’t as of now. Organicmaps has plenty of issues on it).
