Move MS Maps or Here Maps to SD Card

[suharsh]

I have gone through the search for this topic and it seems it can be done. It is not working for me (at least in the 8.1 DP). Is it possible to move the Maps to SD Card in 8.1? Below is what I have learnt from previous threads and tried. I hope it is possible to have Maps on the SD card.

- Lumia Storage Check: this app doesn't exist on the app store.
- Storage Sense --> all settings point to SD card (apps, data, photos ... )
- Here Drive and Here Maps reside on SD Card
- Deleted all existing maps
- Downloaded new map for US and it fails (not enough storage space)
- Deleted the maps again
- This time downloaded only One State and the download is on the Phone Memory and not SD Card!

I use the Lumia Storage Check App. It's the only way I've found that gives an option to put maps on SD.

This is the link I have to download it.

Lumia storage check beta | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

Thanks for the link. I installed the App and downloaded the Maps to the SD card.
For those are wanting the same functionality
- connect your phone to PC via appropriate USB cable
- download the .xap file from the link above and store it on PC (or SD card)
- transfer it to SD Card
- Go to Store and then from options (right bottom corner ... the three dots), select Install local apps
- select the specific .xap file and install the App.
- then go to the Lumia Storage Check app and select the maps app to set it to SD card.
- go to Here maps and remove any previously installed maps
- now download them again and they will go to your SD card.
