If you can dedicate the time to it, go the long way around - copy all the folders/files from SD card to a computer, put the SD card in the phone, format it, set up the apps on the phone and manually copy data from corresponding folders back on the SD card - meaning the folders won't be necessarily the same, for example old SDcard/Osmand could be now SDcard/android/net.osmand... Use it to do a clean up as well, we all have files on the SDcard where we don't even know any more why and what it is :) If you don't want to do it this way, just for the Osmand app do this: - rename the old osmand folder (with the maps) just to be sure - open Osmand, find the data folder it did set (or you can set up a new one). Remember this path. - close Osmand - open file explorer app and copy all the subfolders and files from the old folder to the new one, one by one This should get you the same end result. Don't try to get Osmand work with your old folder, accept that it is easier to give it the files where it can see it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
