Re: Move maps to new phone

[lodrog...@gmail.com]

i forgot to say that this procedure compress the data. So, if the maps data 
are a lot of GB this will take a lot of time

Re: Move maps to new phone

[lodrog...@gmail.com]

Hi Artu,

for people just like you, with low experience to computers, yes android is 
linux, i suggest the following

- open osmand app and visit settings
- on the end you will find the option export
- in the next screen find the map data and choose at your device a place to 
save them that you have access

then go to other device and make import ... the maps

how to move data between the 2 devices ??? you can use for example one usb 
memory with OTG or the usb port of a pc computer

Re: Export Import New Feature

[Navigator9]

My post dated 11 Feb 2021 stated that I succeeded in exporting to another 
tablet of identical make, model, etc.  That has stopped working.

After updating my OS to Android 11 One UI Core 3.1, I cannot export any 
OsmAnd files to anywhere.  After generating the export file, OsmAnd 
provides a lengthy pick-list of candidate destinations from which to 
choose.  It does not, however, offer to save the export file to the 
simplest possible location which would be to save it to e.g. the uSD card 
that is in the tablet drawer, or to a user-accessible folder on the tablet, 
or to a USB thumb drive connected via an On-The-Go cable.  After choosing 
e.g. my Google Drive and pressing the save button, the screen flashes very 
briefly and immediately reverts to the initial export menu.  I cannot find 
the newly-generated export file anywhere.  Ditto for exporting to OsmAnd 
itself.

Fortunately, as of 2021-July-29, I can still back up / export my track 
files and my favourites by inserting the uSD card into my desktop PC and 
manually copying the discrete track and favourites files from there onto 
hard drive of the PC via the classical Windows method (i.e., Ctrl+A then 
Ctrl+V).  That is OK but does not work for OsmAnd settings because there 
appears not to be a discrete OsmAnd settings file that is accessible to 
users - or, at least, not one that I can find.

IMO it would be better if OsmAnd stored, in a discrete settings file that 
is accessible to users, the settings, as it does for tracks and 
favourites.  Then folks could back up or export their settings manually, 
via moving the uSD card to a PC.

Re: Move maps to new phone

[Helmut Jarausch]

Install Totalcommander on both devices.
Then copy the folder /Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files
from one device to the other device using copy by WLAN. Totalcommander can
even establish a WLAN hotspot which is also the fastest way to the files
copied.
