SD card on Android 4.4.X
Declined
on Android 4.4.X is normally SD card locked. But many users (me included) root their phones and allow to write on SD card, but Locus has still locked option to select root folder on SD.
It wolud be perfect if user could choose destination folder anywhere (some shitty filebrowser could show in dialog), and then, try to write some testing file. If it success, save user-selected destination, or show error message otherwise. This solutions can cover all storage problems for regular and rooted phones.
I like this idea 
Hello Martin,
in Locus Settings > Misc > Set Root directory should be list of all possible root folders. Is there your SD card? If so, it is marked as read-only?
If any folder is set as "read-only", it's not just because Locus read this information somewhere. Locus always try to test it by creating a tiny file in directory (which is then immediately deleted). If this operation went well, folder is set as read-write.
So if Locus cannot write to your SD card, then there is still probably some problem with it. Are other apps able to write there? Maybe just try to restart you device, it may helps.

>"Are other apps able to write there?..."
Why Locus don't request for "root rights"managed by (eg) SuperSU?
eg like TotalCommander and other tools?

Quite old topic. As I wrote above as response to Miroslav, it's not still possible (and it will be even worst probably) to use SD card as main place where Locus Map store all it's data.
Sorry, "idea" desclined for now as "impossible to do". Thanks for understanding.

Miroslav,
there are a number of posts that explain a working setup - and I run such since years:
- all vector maps go to SD-Card - I use PC and move them manually. Not a a daily job, hence doable
- put "static" SQLITEDB-Maps to SD, too
- SRTM can go to SD-Card/Android/data/...Locus-Dir.../...
The only things left in the Locus home directory on internal SD are POI/track DBs, backups and exports (move them manually to SD, too). One time setup, and some drill you will do by heart soon.
So, what's the issue ?
