Hi again,

I'm upgrading my bog standard 128mb which came with TTG 300 to a 512mb, have been looking at two

1. Kingston 512MB Secure Digital (SD) Card.

2.Kingston 512MB Elite Pro Hi-Speed Secure Digital Card.

Would the second one be best as it has pro hi-speed or would both do same job?by the way only £4 in it.

Thanks

Dont know but have you had a look on ebay there are some good priced ones on there.

When looking at the prices take into account the postage price.

If you stay with the GB map a 256 card will be enough.

If you intend to buy the maps of western Europe then a 512 card will be too small. You will probably only get France on it in addition to what you have.

I was running at about 234MB on my 512 card with GB map, Major Roads of Europe, speed cameras and the "old" postcodes. But the full 40 PoI. And System 5.0. France is an extra 235Mb on its own.

I have upgraded to a 1GB card, installed 5.2 and added maps of Germany, France, Benelux,Switzerland and Austria. I have 190 Mb free which is not enough to add Italy.

The size of the individual maps is on the TomTom site. The new maps will include the country map and the "Plus" map - the Major roads merged with the country.
