This is a limitation indeed, but you can still have your “big data” on the SD card and save space in the internal storage. We hope that the last change did not upset you much.
SRTM data – offline elevation data, important for the elevation chart when planning routes, terrain shading, etc. online maps – definition and temporary files (cache). backup files – these can be stored on the SD card without any storage space restrictions. What else can I have on the SD card besides offline maps? If it is a raster map, Locus will import it into the Locus / Maps directory, if it is a vector, it will import it into Locus / MapsVector. If you click on any supported map file in the system or external file manager, Locus Map will be offered as an application that can process the file. Everything then proceeds in the same way as in the case of import from the map manager. The map file is also recognized by the import started from the point or track manager. If it is a raster map, it will be saved in the Locus/Maps directory, if it is a vector, it will be in the Locus/MapsVector directory if you select the device storage, the system file manager will open and you can import the map into Locus from anywhere on the device. select source – device storage, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or remote file. open the offline tab and under the “+” button you will find the item “ Import”. Fortunately, we managed to deal with this – we have significantly improved the import of maps: Import from map manager When this plague struck us first in December 2021, all we could do was try it out with external file managers, a connection to a PC, and so on. Locus will load them automatically after reboot. Map files can only be saved in Media folders in the external file manager. with the Android/Media directory on the SD card. with the Android/Media directory in the internal storage. in the private directory on the SD card – this can be changed in the Locus settings, maps will be moved here, see >. in the private directory in the internal storage – default setting after installation. If you have the main Locus directory /Locus/ in the root of the internal storage now, you’ll be prompted to start a smooth data transfer to the new location after the app update. It can then be moved to the SD card via the application settings. When you install the application, it creates its directory in the internal storage. in the private directory on the SD card. in the private directory in the internal storage. So what options does Locus Map have now? Locus main directory 
Unfortunately, after three months of rest, Google validators woke up from hibernation and revoked Locus Map 4’s “all files access” permission. And now we have the less positive news here.
