Hi

i want to create maps to Mauritius island and i got an error message

"if your are using external sd use /android/data/com.orux.oruxmaps/files .. "



but my external sd is mounted on /storage/extSdCard and i have created a directory oruxmaps for my files , which is recognized by oruxmaps without problem



so what can i do ?



should i create a directory com.orux...... under /data on the external sd ?



regards

On my Samsung(android 4.4) I can select this path.

Here I can download maps or create maps.

I use the beta version, so the path is a bit different.

In my Samsung s4a with 4.4.2 kitkat I can do. I can also create maps there,

also I can download OAM maps directly from Orux...

so what we do ??

i can't create directory , you can ..

where is the explanation ?



I was able to write to it when i was on my old phone . which was root. With Note2 Samsung as put a protection and i am not root on it.

i cand o it but i will loss the waranty



are you root on your phone ?

regards



and i said also your directory on the external SD is com.orux.oruxmaps, my directory is oruxmap, i created it before ..



is the directory com.orux.oruxmaps created by the program ??
