Can I have the garmin installed in phone memory but gmapsupp.img map located in external sdcard? If you paste your map files (like gmapsupp.img) in external card, what is the specific folder location for it?

You tell us. It's your phone. When you go to the external sd card using a file explorer what is the path? /whatever your path is/Garmin/ And the file will be named gmapprom.img and not gmapsupp.img.

Do you still deal with the libgarminos.so & libgmtx.so manually for non-rooted phone? This is mentioned in the 2nd unhidden content of the 1st post. If my phone is rooted, can I do the non-rooted method?

If your phone isn't rooted then you can't manually install these files. If your phone is rooted you can do either method.

However I doubt the libgarminos.so file for the non rooted version will be correct for a map location on the external sd card. You will have to modify the file yourself and inject it into the install apk.

Are these the only steps you do on non-rooted phone :
1. Paste the Garmin folder into your phone with required img files.
2. Paste the apk file in phone memory and launch?
3. I guess that's all?

Reply is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Haven't installed this way but I would install the app first but don't run. Then copy the files(required maps, voices, jcv, timezone file, custom vehicles) to the location it sets up for you whatever that location may be. If you have experience in modding phones and such this install should be fairly easy. It is not meant for someone who has no experience.
