As of version 5.0, TwoNav Android uses the folders designated by the operating system. This is a GooglePlay requirement for recent and future versions of Android.
These folders are located inside Android/Data, both in the internal memory and in the SD. Specific:
- In the TwoNav Free App:
- Internal memory:
- Maps : Android/Data/com.compegps.twonav/files/TwoNavData/Maps
- Other files (tracks, waypoints...) : Android/Data/com.compegps.twonav/files/TwoNavData/Data
- SD card
- Maps: Android/Data/com.compegps.twonav/files
- Other files (tracks, waypoints ): At the moment they are not read.
- Internal memory:
- En la App TwoNav Premium (same as Free, but adding 'full' in the App folder)
- Internal memory:
- Maps : Android/Data/com.compegps.twonavfull/files/TwoNavData/Maps
- Other files (tracks, waypoints...) : Android/Data/com.compegps.twonavfull/files/TwoNavData/Data
- SD card
- Maps: Android/Data/com.compegps.twonavfull/files
- Other files (tracks, waypoints ): At the moment they are not read.
- Internal memory:
The data that TwoNav will detect will be those found in these folders. You can add files to these folders in different ways:
- Automatically: Files will be added to these folders:
- When you create files from TwoNav (e.g. tracks, waypoints).
-
When you open files from other applications (Whatsapp, email, Internet browser, file manager...), they will be copied to the TwoNav folders.
-
When you download tracks from 'my routes online' (e.g. GO cloud) or 'discover routes online', functions accessible from the list of routes.
-
-
When you import files from the Route List or Map List. The Import files function allows you to select them from any accessible folder on the phone, and copy them to the TwoNav folder.
-
-
-
When you install your purchased maps
-
From the 'Install purchased maps', in the application's Map List, you can check and install the maps you have purchased at twonav.com (see article).
-
From the application's Map Store you can install the maps purchased within the App.
-
- When transferring files from Land computer software*
-
- Manually*: You can copy files directly to these folders:
- With file management apps available for most mobiles
- By plugging the mobile into a computer, so that you can manage the contents of its memory with the computer's file explorer.
* Note: Some phones do not allow access to these App folders, so files cannot be added manually for TwoNav to read, and are also not detected by Land. We are studying ways to overcome this difficulty. At the moment, some alternatives are known that will work according to the particularities of each phone:
- Use a file management app with special permissions, such as x-plore or total commander.
- Connect the phone to a Windows computer via USB. Most phones allow you to manage Android / Data files in internal memory in this way.
- Remove the SD card from the phone, and connect it directly to the computer to be able to move the files.

Twonav upgrades to V 5.0.3 but FAILS to move the existing maps/tracks as described. (On Galaxy A5, Android 11)
Several problems result:
- existing maps and tracks are not visible/selectable/loadable by Twonav
- old map/track filese are left in the original, unreachable folders
- Land 7 and Land 8 on PC still "see" the old files on the phone as available forTwonav, while they are not. Files are added/deleted in the OLD locations (-> no effect). Land and Twonav live in separate worlds...
- manually adding the files into the NEW locations results in Twonav correctly accessing them (but NOT land from PC!)
