6.3.5 - Samsung Note 4 - SM-N910A Android 5.1.1

I had switched the root folder to the external card and was in a situation where no maps would download to either internal or external storage. When the beta installed, I re-specified the change to the external card, got a successful "moving" message (although there was nothing to move). Maps are now downloading to external SD card so it seems as though the fix worked.

I hope it's obvious to Android users that we have gotten super busy with Android development. It seems to be reflected in the reviews at least!

The company overall has seen tremendous growth in the last 6-12 months, and a bunch of man and woman power has been allocated to Android as a result. We've also been finding ways to make multi-platform development and support better, and more efficient, too.

And more to come. Over this summer, we have a pretty amazing set of features and maps to release, and all users will benefit from this work, across Android, iOS, and the web.

There are now 9 full-time people working on Gaia GPS as of today, and a few more contractors too. I suspect the pace of the next year may match the pace of the first 7 years of Gaia GPS work. Users may also like to know this is boot-strapped from revenue (i.e. support from viewers like you), and the company has every reason to keep thriving and making Gaia GPS better. This isn't some startup flameout :)
