Hi, I moved MapFactor Navigator from internal storage to SD Memory (i know it works only in the internal one). Now I have the same maps in both locations. If I try to delete one of the two directories where maps are located the program doesn't work till I copy again the maps in both places. Maps are pretty heavy and I don't understand why it nedds the same maps in two different memory at the same time.
Did you move them by changing the settings? (Settings ==> Advanced ==> Change installation SD card). I did so and my maps are only on the external card. I have Android 4.2 though. I read that with Kitkat, they only work in the internal storage... If this is your case, your app uses only the maps in the internal storage and it ignores the external SD card.

First make a backup of your your modified config files. backup your favourites.xml If you stored and/or imported routes you also need to backup your routing_points.xml If you modified your vehicle profiles you also need to backup your vehicle_profiles.xml If you modified map colors and so on you need to backup album.style as well
The most simple thing to do is from your app settings to stop the program, remove the data, uninstall the program. Search the navigator folders and remove everything you find.
Reinstall Navigator. Note: There is no need at all to install the navigator program to SDcard unless the internal memory of your phone is really tiny. The maps (data) will default to your SD-card. Pay attention when you select the map/data folder.
Thake a look at the size of the partitions. Especially on Andorid 4.1 there were a lot of /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard pointing to internal memory, where as /mnt/extsd or /extsd were pointing to the real sdcard.
I think it could be a bug because in the settings I moved from external to internal and now the maps are in the external SD card according to filemanager!!!
Most probably your /storage/sdcard0 is your sdcard and /storage/sdcard1 is your internal memory but I'm not sure. Can you request properties of the several partitions. If you have 4GB internal memory (leaving perhaps 1.5GB due to android itself) and a 16GB sdcard, you should easily be able to tell which is what.
obviously my sd card is 4 GB as the internal one :-) and I have about 1.3 GB free in both ;-)
but I guess you are right: sdcard0 is external and sdcard1 is internal
what I don't understand is why Navigator is not able to recognise correctly wich is internal and wich is external. It says to me (translated from italian)
