How do you move an app to the sd card?

[Underworld54]

I want to download the Google Sky Maps app and I read that it should be moved to the SD card. Can someone please tell me how to go about this?

This App will show all apps that can be moved and then allow you to move them.

Just be aware about moving wallpaper...

I have moved live wallpaper to the sdcard and what happens is it doesn't auto load when I rebooT, I have to go in and select it.

Once I move it back to the phone and off the card, it works fine.

Lego!

press your menu key -> settings-> applications-> manage applications-> select google sky maps then simply click move to sd

very simple and easily undone

The only clickable option is "move to phone."

Then the app is probably already on your SD card and your good to go. I would recommend getting the APP2SD app that JF recommended, it reminds you to do it once you download a capable app.

Ok I will make sure I download that app. Why is it necessary to keep some apps on the SD card?

Yea the apps already on the sd card its not necessary at all people just do it for extra space as far as i know the space is only benefit

It's not necessary, but it helps to keep the internal phone memory low. Most phones don't have a lot of internal memory dedicated to applications. I think in the case of Google Sky, it is a big app, so moving it to the SD card will free up some space.
