## About osmin on Android

Installation of the APK can be achieved without issue. From release 1.7.0, **the storage for maps is no longer supported in the external SD card** of the device, due to security limitations with Android 10 and up. Therefore all data are saved in the internal storage of the device, i.e `Android/data/io.github.janbar.osmin/files/`. This folder is accessible when the device is plugged to an USB port, or directly using the android file manager. So you could manually manage the content yourself. New maps could be manually uploaded, or removed to make free space.
Downloading big map could failed in background because android stop the activity as soon as possible when the app isn't on front or the device change to sleeping state. If you are unable to keep the device active, you should prefer to manually upload the map using the USB port.
