Has anyone had an error message, with their 510 saying its short of memory ?
I've just tried to plot a route from Yorkshire to Germany & the unit failed to complete the calculation.
Is this "normal" ? |

What maps have you got enabled? I would try to disable some of the ones that are not needed and try again. |

Its an odd one because the disc's still got 280Mb free and the maps for the continent are basemaps only. I would have expected mapping on those to take up less memory. |

only us 256 cards
The problem with larger memory cards is 2-fold:
1: Running a navigation application requires the application to pre-load a certain amount of map data (about 10%) to ensure that the scrolling of the map is smooth. So, considering the iCN510 has limited amount of available program memory (memory resident on the device), pre-loading 10% of 512MB worth of maps will slow the system down to a point where it cannot free memory up quickly enough, and cause the system to report an "Out-of-memory" error.
2: The larger the capacity on the memory card, the slower the access times, which means that while the GPS application is trying to pull real-time mapping information, the SD card cannot provide the information quickly enough, which can again lead to an "Out-of-Memory" error. This is whhy a number of manufacturers have released high-speed cards, some of which are very good, and some of which are not. |
