Well, some more thinking on this, I think we need to realize that we 
will possibly disappoint 1 type of users. The user that does not use the 
online cloud storage in the new style (without web service) has not way 
any more to transfer GPS data from the mobile device to a desktop 
logbook. I said before "The future solution on mobile needs also to work 
without cloud account", which I now believe is fundamentally impossible.

Thinking more of this ... it is what it is. If a user does not want to 
share the logbook (for whatever reason), the user cannot share a small 
part of the logbook (GPS data) to a different device or desktop 
application as well. Where "share" means, sharing it with the online 
cloud account.
