Cannot find Osmand directory

Hi

I installed yesterday the new version of OsmAnd+ on my Nexus 4 smartphone with Android 5.1.1 using Google playstore.
I also installed some maps from that source.

When connected to the computer I cannot find any osmand related directory
This phone does not have a SD-Card, only a 16 Gb internal memory.

Where can I find the osmand home directory ?
and the directory where I can store gpx track from my computer?

Thank you for responding.

Regards
Gert

Re: Cannot find Osmand directory

Even if it does not have a physical SD card it should have a /sdcard directory and the path to the osmand files is /sdcard/osmand/ (at least that is where it is on my phone with no physical SD card).

Re: Cannot find Osmand directory

Maybe its is stored on your "internal SD card" in Android/data/net.osmand ... folder??

Re: Cannot find Osmand directory

On my Galaxy Nexus (Maguro), which has no SD memory slot, running stock 4.3, CyanogenMod 4.4 and currently a AOSP 5.1 and with various versions of Osmand including the current 2.1.1 here is where things are on my phone:

Re: Cannot find Osmand directory

I can only access my phone via my notebook running windows7 with the explorer program. Don't know if this is relevant

My Android version is: 5.1.1
Kernel version: 3.4.0.-perf-gdffc258
android build@vpee9.mtv.corp.google.com #1
wed jul 8 23:25:22 utc 2015
build no. LMY48I

My osmand version is 2.1.1 updated on june 20. 2015

IU checked all visible directories under the root \ and under android\data but there is no sdcard and no osmand directory (visible?)

Re: Cannot find Osmand directory

Hello Gert,

please try to install a file browser on your android device, like TotalCommander or ES Explorer or similar.

My favourite is TotalCommander ... it has a nice root page with links to internal or external sd card ... and you can search for files/folders with "osmand" in its name.

Success?

Hi Stephan,
thank you very much. This TotalCommander is very helpful. I can see everything now that the windows based interface does not.
Feels very much linke my former home (Unix).

Regards Gert

Re: Cannot find Osmand directory

Long time ago since last post, but just installed OsmAnd+ and could not find the tracks nor osmand directory. Searched using OI File Manager for osmand but could not find it.

In the Setting of OsmAnd+ (version 2.3.5) under General Settngs the Data storage folder said "/data/data/net.osmand.plus/files/osmand/osmand", but using OI File Manager I could not see any directory under /data.

Took some time but then installed the Root Explorer app and I could see there was a data dir under /data and yes, if I put a .gpx file in "/data/data/net.osmand.plus/files/osmand/osmand/tracks", OsmAnd finds it. Problem fixed.

Re: Cannot find Osmand directory

new android version , new location it seems like:  Android 8.0.0,  on my Oneplus 3T, 
The GPX files you want to import can be copied to:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files/tracks/import

I use Total Commander to copy files from download folder to this OSMAND folder.
