Is it possible to move Navigon maps on extSD?

[Markino]

Hi guys, I've installed Navigon Europe on my S3 Mini and it downloaded all the maps on the internal sd.... is it posible to move only the maps on the external sd?
More difficult: what about moving only some maps on external SD? I live in Italy so it will be very nice if I can leave Italy maps on internal SD and move all the others map on external...

You'll need root for that.Then you can use directorybind or foldermount to symlink your maps.

My Navigon File is in the extSDcard.
I just moved the folder from the internal to ExtSDcard and Navigon works fine.
PS Nearly all my GPS programs ( Sygic -TomTom etc ) are in the ExtSDcard

So all i have to do is cut and paste the navigon folder to my external sd card and it will work? I think you will lose the widget functions doing this. Is that correct?
Thanks.

For anyone finding this via search, you may have to use RootExplorer to modify two files before this will work:

/data/data/com.navigon.navigator_{region_type}/shared_prefs/install_preferences.xml

and

/data/data/com.navigon.navigator_{region_type}/files/NaviKernelConf.ini

Just replace the old location with the new location (default location will vary by phone model).

Why ? I copied without changing anything - and it works.

It's dependent on device. It didn't work for me until I made the changes to both files, and this is the top search result for getting Navigon to move to external SD, so I decided to be helpful for anyone else trying to get it to work.
