Android GPS Maps on SD Card?

ducatiti · 06-15-2019, 11:48 PM

Anyone successfully done this with an Android deck such as an Eonon or Dynavin?

Please post links for SD cards that do actually work. I'm not sure if the $20 eBay cards work.

Lastly, can we even download the maps from somewhere to our own SD card?

Anyone?

I just want to use the GPS without having to connect to my hotspot each time I get into the car. Lazy dude here lol.

You could try downloading sygic, its a fully offline GPS system and its better than maps imho.

Thanks Colorado. I checked out the site. When, downloaded, does it go to the Eonon or SD card? Sorry I am pretty much new with Android in general.

you can choose the efault storage directories.

any sd card that formats and mounts works. obviously faster is better. stick with at least a u1.

google maps will allow you to offline save maps under your settings.

It will most likely save to your eonon, I don't have an sd card on my phone so I cannot verify that you can move the maps to the SD card and it recognize it, though I don't think it would be a problem

If you're using Google maps, it already comes with an option to download maps for offline navigation. You just won't get live traffic information.
