Randomly and for no apparent reason my Navigator install resets itself to look at the internal storage for maps.  I have the storage set to my larger external SD card.

This is annoying as it tends to happen when I have no internet link at all (e.g. the middle of the French countryside at midnight or the Lake District)

Navigator suddenly declares "No maps available" and gives a "download now" or "cancel" option.  I cannot download as I am lost in France with no internet!!

I suggest the following:
If there are no maps Navigator automatically checks the external storage for a valid navigator set up and gives the user the option to use this one (there may be more than one as I have found two valid Navigator installs on my external card).

When I do get a connection and download a map I cannot connect to my old install.  The option to move items to the external card asks if I wish to overwrite the install it finds with an Ok or cancel option.  Thus I cannot connect to my old install.  I cannot tell navigator to connect without overwriting!  There needs to be a "use old install" option as this contains all my preferences etc that I spent ages setting up for my purposes.

Ideally Navigator shouldn't "lose" its maps.

To summarise:
1. When there are no maps installed look for them (a GREP would do) on the other storage devices.
2. When a previous install on the external card is found allow it to be used, and not just overwritten.

Thanks,
