is it possible to insall tomtom 6 on SD and have it in a tomtom directory on the SD card so i can still use the SD card, and keep it organised, i have tried moving everything to a tomtom folder and also installing from it being in a sperate folder but it just says it cant find any maps etc,
Cheers

No, this is not possible, it has to be in the root of the SD card....

Ok, thank you for the speedy reply
That's not the whole story though. The Map and all those hundreds of Tomtom files can be in a folder on the SD card. For example I have the map in a folder called:
GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE
ie you must name the folder after the map, it must be correct or it will not find it.
I have tons of organised folders on my 6 Gig SD card along with the Tomtom folder. Otherwise you'd have to keep swapping cards which would be crazy.

Thank you!! Needing clarity

This is good news, indeed!!
So, you put ALL of your TomTom SD files into this map folder? Can you clarify? I've tried putting voices in root of main memory, and this doesn't work. I'd rather not have more than one folder in the root of my SD card devoted to TomTom...Any more comprehensive info? What can you put where? How much can this get consolidated? I was hoping there was a TomTom setting somewhere i could change to tell it where to look for things (i.e. replace the root of the storage card w/ another location)
Any info appreciated.
Hi,
is there a possibility to put navigation maps on the sd card?
I tried navigon and copilot. And both search the maps under /sdcard
But that is the internal sd card.
I want to have the maps on the external sd card.
But the apps don't search under /sdacard/sd/
I think that is a major design flaw from samsung, to mount the external sd card under /sdcard/sd
Dont think you can do that for now, this option is comming on Froyo. So its not samsung fault its androids
Oh, aha.
I thought, installing apps on SD is comming in Froyo. But putting maps on SD card? (or outsourcing/Swapping the maps on sd)
Yes but if you can install app in SD card in Froyo you can put the map there too, because they must be in the same place (memory)..map and navi app. Lets see when Froyo comes
Edit: Or it can be like in windows phones: You installed the app in internal memory and could have the map in external SD-card
I would prefer app in internal an map in external.
With navigon that didn't work.
But now I installed copilot again. Installed the maps internal.
Then moved the maps from internal to external. And edited the user.cfg of copilot to change the paths.
That works somehow.
I had the opposite problem to you.
Got the phone without an external SD card, and installed Sygic GPS navigation. Turns out the maps for this only work if you put them on an external SD card, so had to buy one, then shifted the maps over, and now it works now worries.
Cheers!

Navigon Select (3.5.0) installs everything on external sd but I dont think it would work with froyo external_sd path

How did you address the external sd card? for example changing app paths from
"AddonDir"="/mnt/sdcard/copilot/NA/North America/addon/"
to "AddonDir"="/mnt/sdcard/sd/copilot/NA/North America/addon/"
did not work. Copilot does not find the maps stored in directory copilot/NA/ on the external card. Thanks for any help.
My path was /sdcard/sd/copilot/EU/DACH/{cities;data;places;polygons;save}
Here is my config ini excerpt:
Code:
"AddonDir"="/sdcard/sd/copilot/EU/DACH/addon/"
"AudioDir"="/sdcard/copilot/audio/"
"CitiesDir"="/sdcard/sd/copilot/EU/DACH/cities/"

Hi Polarfuchs, many thanks. Tried it again - no success. My "user.cfg" file in the "copilot" directory on "sdcard" has "mnt/" in front of all paths. I removed them so it looked like yours and added the "sdcard/sd/" to all map paths. Moved the maps to external SD into the copilot folder there. Did a proper reboot (just in case) but the application insists that there are no maps installed. It also changes all paths back to the original "mnt/sdcard/..." Not sure what the significane of the "mnt" is.
Anyway it only works if I have the maps in sdcard but I am running out of space b/c I also have NDrive 10 installed with "Western Europe" maps and my internal SD is full! NDrive also has no function to install it to external SD - company has not responded to my inquiry (neither did alk/copilot).
For other's who may also troubleshoot this: I run "Copilot Live 8" with North America Maps (they have a nice sale on them in the market right now) on Doc's XXJPO 7.6.2 with NO-RFS advanced EXT4 lagfix.
Any ideas much appreciated! Thanks!
Ha,
you didn't mention that you run on Froyo!
The solution I provided above was from the time I used Eclair.
Since yesterday I have DocFroyo, like you. But I didn't try copilot on Froyo till now.
On Froyo the external SD card path is different.
Please try /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/copilot/NA....

After Polarfuchs solved the problem with Copilot (btw one can even run the app from the external card w/o any problems so far) my next challenge is to fix the problem with NDrive. I wrote them that I am running out of space on my internal SD card and that I have a 16gb external card. I requested support with moving the large maps for Western Europe to the external SD card. Here is their reply:
"Good Morning,
Please be advised that the equipment has an internal flash memory where you should install the NDrive, this memory ranges from 8 Gb and 16 Gb
The AutoRun NDrive is installed in user memory, the maps should be in flash memory that has a space between 8 Gb and 16 Gb.
Cumprimentos / Best Regards
NDrive Support"
Not very helpful. Anyone has any ideas? Makes no sense to have large maps on the internal SD.
Many thanks!
Hi, for a few days ago I have updated my Galaxy S to FROYO.XXJPO, and have change the user.cfg from Copilot to:
"AddonDir"="/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/copilot/EU/Europe/addon/"
"AudioDir"="/mnt/sdcard/copilot/audio/"
"CitiesDir"="/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/copilot/EU/Europe/cities/"
"GlobalAddonDir"="/mnt/sdcard/copilot/addon"
"GPSDemoDir"="/mnt/sdcard/copilot/gpstracks/demo"

"LRGPSSaveDir"="/mnt/sdcard/copilot/gpstracks"
"LRGridDir"="/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/copilot/EU/Europe/data/"
"LRInfoDir"="/mnt/sdcard/copilot/info"
"LRSaveDir"="/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/copilot/EU/Europe/save/"
"PolyDir"="/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/copilot/EU/Europe/polygons/"
"RazorCacheDir"="/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/copilot/EU/Europe/save/razor_cache"
"RegionDir"="EU"
"RootDir"="/mnt/sdcard/copilot/"
"SkinDir"="/mnt/sdcard/copilot/skin/"
"SpeechDir"="/mnt/sdcard/copilot/speech"
"UIConfigDir"="/mnt/sdcard/copilot/uiconfig/"
Now my Maps are stored on the external-SD card.
Here is a solution for Sygic GPS Mobile maps on external sd card:
http://x2think.wordpress.com/2011/05/29/sygic-navigation-android-externa-sd/
Here are the steps:
1. Install Sygic GPS Navigation on your Android phone.
2. Start the Sygic Download application and download your favorites maps.
3. After download is completed close the Sygic Download application and connect your phone in USB storage mode to a pc.
4. On the pc side, move all content except database.xml and base-is-ok.txt from Aura folder on the internal phone memory to external_sd card.
So after this process on the internal phone memory should be a folder called Aura with 2 files in it: database.xml and base-is-ok.txt and on the external sd card should be all the files needed by Sygic.
5. Make a back-up copy of database.xml then open it with Notepad editor. You will see that the file is pretty consistent. While in Notepad press CRTL+H and the find and replace option appears.
In the Find what field write:Aura/
In the Replace with write:external_sd/Aura/
Now press Replace All then Save the file (CTRL+S).
6. Disconnect storage from PC and start Sygic GPS Navigation. The program should start with no problem.
Make sure not to start Sygic Download application. If you want new maps you have to start the process all over again.
If something goes wrong and your Sygic GPS Navigation application is not working or you just want to go to default program folders you can always delete the Aura folder from internal phone memory and externat sd card but be aware you’ll lose all the downloaded maps.
Also you can move the content of Aura folder on the external sd card back to Aura folder on the internal phone memory, delete database.xml file, restore the back-ul file and everything should be fine.
I will not be held responsible for any damage done to YOUR PHONE. Do this at your own risk.
This method was tested by me on my Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.3.3 stock rom.

No need to do all that, all you need to change is one line.
Change "RootDir"="/sdcard/copilot/"
to "RootDir"="/sdcard/external_sd/copilot/"
Once the above line is changed, you can choose your maps from external SD from within the app itself
and it will work as normal.

Here's a solution that works for any application - just move the larger parts from sd to external_sd with Directory Bind:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
I have a Galaxy Tab (T-Mobile version). The file locations on this version are somewhat different than most other Android devices. Specifically, the internal memory is partitioned into a system/user area and an area that it identifies as "sdcard". I have an external micro SD card and it is identified as a folder on "sdcard" called "external_sd". By default, Titanium Backup places the backup files on the SD card. Unfortunately, on these T-Mobile Tabs, that means that the backup files are actually located on the internal memory. I would really prefer to have the files located on the external SD card. I can't find any settings in TB to change the location of the backup files. The only alternative I can see would be to manually copy the files from the "sdcard" to the "external_sd".
Thoughts...opinions?
Ken
Just change the backup folder in Titanium to external_sd/TitaniumBackup.

Dave

Duh.....I can't believe I stared at this issue for as long as I did and didn't realize this. I was trying to find some setting in TB that would allow a change to the External storage location (which can't be changed), not realizing that I could achieve that using a full path name for the Backup directory (which can be changed).
Thanks!

oops, wrong forum
The 8 Gb limit is a problem for apps that can't be moved to external SD card. Could somebody try to move Evernote to external card and see if the data can be located to it. It should be possible with the drawback that the widget doesn't work anymore.
Thanks/vox

As far as I know, it is NOT possible to move any applications to SD card without being rooted. Have you rooted your phone?
Even with root, I guess you can only do it using Link2SD to a second partition on your SD card.
Ok, thanks. I thought Evernote might be able to store notes on external SD card - but it does not.
You can store data on external sd card

I think that you can do it. Just move evernotes files from Internal Memory/Android to SDCard/Android.
Then, using folder mount (search play store) simply mount the folder on external card as a folder on internal card.
As far as I think root is required.
Hi all !
I bought this radio 8227L: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3281...25984c4dJjb9i2
And now please someone knows how to move my GPS folder (igo) on the SD and use it ? Because due to Android 6.0, now we can't install app on the sd, except if you share your sd card with the internal memory.
If i do it, i can't move my folder gps too because the sd can't appear in the file explorer or on windows PC because the card is encrypted.
Then i search after a solution, i don't want to place my big folder (more 10gb) of the internal memory, i prefer install on SD.
Another question, how to root it ?? I try a lot of "rooters" but not work.
Please help me for the GPS :'(
