Cache information can be exported from c:geo into the third party app Locus by either performing a "Navigate" in the "More details" screen of a cache, or in the "Stored" area by selecting "More", "Show on map" and selecting "Locus".

In both cases the majority of cache data is transferred over to Locus. However, Hint information is not.

To reproduce:

Load up c:geo opensource (the version I am using is 08.11.2011) & go to Live Map
Find & touch on a cache to bring up the Information dialog
Make sure there is a valid hint
Select More details -> Menu key-> Navigate -> Locus

Locus (the version I am using is Locus Pro 1.5.2)
Select the cache
Go to the Info screen (second button from the left)
Select Key icon (first button on left)

You will always get the text "No hint" briefly displayed

I have taken this up with menion, the Locus developer, and he has confirmed the problem is that the data is not sent from c:geo and not that Locus is not reading & displaying that information. The thread discussing this issue is here:
