Thanks for getting back to me, I have found the maps have gone twice on my phone and once on my TAB so have needed to down load them twice, this time I will just copy them from one to the other but also make a backup onto my desktop PC. The route I have planned will take me through 21 different states so the download is quite large and I can't afford to exceed my data usage so will wait till the end of my billing period before I can download them all again.

I have created a separate folder for my maps and figured out how to get to them in OSMAND. I just wish there was better documentation for it like a downloadable pdf file.

I have managed to us Google My Maps to create all my days drives, all 21 of them. I have no intention of driving on major highways so I have turned each days drive into a more scenic route and the GPX files I have tested have all stuck with my planning.

I will mainly be using the Samsung TAB A 10.1 while driving and the phone if we go off the beaten track.

Once again, thanks for your reply.

Bob
