Hello Vincent,

for me it´s not absolutely clear what you mean with sdcard, are your maps on internal or external SD?

please read

http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:maps_external

if your maps are stored on external SD

or describe your situation more detailed

Go to Locus map management, add a new map, select external map, in case you are somewhere in the folder tree, go to the uppermost level. then descend into Storage. There you will find an entry with some weird numbering. That is now the name of your external SD card. Go for your vector map directory and proceed like in the past.

This works for Samsung, LG and Moto at least.

Hi Vincent,


it seems your map Italy.map is vector, isn't it? There is possibility to have vector maps on your external SD, just tell Locus where the folder with vector maps is located - go to settings > miscellaneous > default directories > mapsVector folder > define your location. Locus can even download vector maps from Locus Store to such a folder.

Yes, vector maps can be downloaded to the external SD. Redefine the path to your vector map directory in Settings >Miscellaneous > Default directories > mapsVector.
