It's the two sides of a coin. It's not a good idea to suppose something that we are not sure, right? Let me explain.
1. Think about app A save it's maps to dir_a, app B save it's maps to dir_b, and c, d... What about when the "default" one changes it's directory? 2. soft link is the best choice. If you suddenly flashed a new image, and forgot to backup, the MicroSD partition saves you time and energy. If the Os can't boot, you can still read/backup data from MicroSD. I did not suppose user is root at all, even though we are all roots, that's why I soft link *.py to $HOME/.omgps/, because compiled python binary file is saved to the directory which contains the source *.py module.
