There are ways to move the map files on Copilot for Android to the external SD. It should work with Android versions that still allow moving an app to the internal SD. Newest Android versions stopped doing this. You must move to internal SD first.

Google this and various methods will come up but the one that seems to work most consistently is actually cutting and pasting the entire com.alk folder from internal SD to the external SD. Google for directions. Try it with the free version before buying. You can always uninstall it if it does not work. Test with one map region download - after all moves have been made. I have it working on my external SD card. If I update Android to a newer rom it will likely not work any longer.
Copilot has been asked about this for a long time and now their answer is it does not work on new versions of Android and it is Android's fault. They admit now that it can be done on older Android.
As said, all map updates are free - but if you want to continue live traffic after one year, there is a $10 annual fee for the traffic service and the traffic service does require a data connection - so no wifi unless you have a hotspot always running while you drive.
