I managed to find a solution to put
Sygic GPS Navigation v.11.0.1 and v.11.0.2 maps for Android on external sd card.
Here are the steps:
1. Install
Sygic GPS Navigation on your Android phone.
2. Start the
Sygic Download application and download your favorites maps.
3. After download is completed close the
Sygic Download application and connect your phone in USB storage mode to a PC.
4. On the PC side, move all content except database.xml and base-is-ok.txt from Aura folder on the internal phone memory to a folder called Aura on the external_sd card.
So after this process on the internal phone memory should be a folder called Aura with 2 files in it: database.xml and base-is-ok.txt and on the external_sd card in the Aura folder should be all the files needed by
Sygic.
5. Make a back-up copy of database.xml then open it with Notepad editor. You will see that the file is pretty consistent. While in Notepad press CRTL+H and the find and replace option appears.
In the Find what field write:Aura/
In the Replace with write:external_sd/Aura/
Now press Replace All then Save the file (CTRL+S).
6. Disconnect storage from PC and start
Sygic GPS Navigation. The program should start with no problem.
Make sure to not start
Sygic Download application after this process as it will erase everything from the external_sd and will re-download the maps to internal phone memory. If you want new maps you have to start the process all over again or move the maps to a temporary folder, start
Sygic Download, download new maps, and repeat the whole process from step 3.
If something goes wrong and your
Sygic GPS Navigation application is not working or you just want to go to default program folders you can always delete the Aura folder from internal phone memory and external sd card but be aware you’ll lose all the downloaded maps.
Or without loosing the downloaded maps, you can move the content of Aura folder from the external sd card back to Aura folder on the internal phone memory, delete database.xml file, restore the back-up file and everything should be fine.
I will not be held responsible for any damage done to YOUR PHONE. Do this at your own risk.
This method was tested by me on
Samsung Galaxy S and
Samsung Galaxy S II with Android 2.3.3 stock rom.
