Initially, the value for "secondary_segment_dir" is "../segments3" to support the
file-format transition from 1.2 to 1.3, so that, after upgrading, your existing
datafiles are found via the secondary directory.
However, for surviving KitKatn and later, you are supposed to change that to the
absolute path to a directory on the external card, e.g.:
secondary_segment_dir=/storage/external_SD/brouter_segments3
secondary_segment_dir=/storage/external_SD/brouter_segments4
When searching for datafiles, both the download manager and the router first look in the primary (brouter/segments3) and then in the secondary directory (or it's "carsubset" subfolder). On the other hand, the download manager always writes new datafiles to the primary directory, so the secondary directory is read-only.

Depending on how your maptool handles the file-system structure, you are done.
