Hi,

Simply - that isn’t possible because this is limitation of Android system. Maximal size of SQL database on Android 4.1 is 4 GB.

Please aware that downloading such huge map is not suggested. You overload map servers and limit other users.

Thanks for understanding

- Splitt your map (eg as "mymap_zoom00-14" "mymap_zoom15-16"....

- Copy all files in one folder eg "mymap"

- Add this folder as ONE map to your personal maps

- Have fun with Locus and your map

you miss any tiles? hmmm a pity ;)

@mr voldan -> i understand your suggestion but simply to say "that isn`t possible" is just funny because it is what it is and i didn`t making this up! at this point it is sensless to discard the existing file.

@gynta -> thank you for help, i`ll try it as advised :)
