+<WRAP center round important>
+Locus Map needs its internal folder Locus/Maps for downloading new maps - new maps can not be downloaded directly to the external SD card. Therefore, the procedure above should be performed every time you download a new raster map if you need to free inner memory space.

+===== Vector maps =====
+==== Where do I find them? ====
+LoMaps or other vector maps are stored by default in ///Locus/mapsVector/// directory.\\ {{ :manual:faq:maps_sdcard05.png?nolink |}}
+==== How do I move them to the external SD? ====
+  - create a new folder on your external SD card, e.g. Maps_vector_external, with any file manager ([[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop|ES Explorer]] recommended)
+  - move whole content of the original //Locus/mapsVector// directory there
+==== How do I add them to Locus? ====
+You have to redefine the path to your vector maps in Locus settings:
+  - go to //Locus settings > Miscellaneous > Default directories > Set 'mapsVector' directory//\\ {{ :manual:faq:locus_sd_card01.png?nolink |}}
+  - find your newly created folder Maps_vector_external and confirm
+  - restart Locus
+<WRAP center round tip>
+Unlike raster maps, vector maps can be downloaded directly to the external SD card with this setting so it is not necessary to move new vector maps to the external SD card manually. :!:**If you have Android 4.4.x, follow the same instructions here as for the raster maps!**:!:
