How would I go about moving my saved maps,with locations, from the Internal Storage to the SD Card? I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet.
Thanks!

In Settings -> OsmAnd Settings -> Data Storage folder, you can select where to safe the maps and all other data.

from my point of view I would not suggest moving the map to the sdcard. I had a period when 5 sdcards broke down.

And the last reason would be the fact that osmand had a problem where if you deleted / updated the application it no longer recognized the maps saved on the sdcard

Within the last 5 or 6 years and with 4 different devices I had the data folder always on sd card without problems.

I have had it for years on SD-card.

But I also move it around sometimes. You also have the "shared memory" option where "everything" is put on internal memory in "/storage/emulated/0/osmand".

I use that when I want to test new functionality in some OsmAnd Nightly build, without having to download another large set of maps (and I have my gpx tracks at hand). Just say no when asked to move the data in the additional OsmAnd.

Or like now where the 3.5.5 has some really serious errors in the profiles, which "forces" me to use a nightly build where these errors have been fixed already.

And when everything is OK again I remove the nightly and copy everything back to SD-card (SD-card: 64GB, internal memory: 16GB).

Can I select individual maps, certain countries, and move them to a SD Card?

No. All or nothing.
