The /data folder is a protected and "hidden from user" folder. Every app has its own /data/app and /data/data folder and only access to these 2 folders. You can NOT access those folders unless you have rooted your device. This is for safety to make sure that malware can't touch others programs folders and do nasty things.
Go into your OsmAnd settings and change the path to something else. The /data path is also on internal memory. If you have an SD-card for your maps then point the "data storage path" to your sd-card. 2017-09-24 8:04 GMT+02:00 Albert <[email protected]>: > > I installed Osmand and then downloaded from my web browser a state map > and copied it to a Osmand directory from Windows Explorer.
