New SD card

Tried to copy to my new card as per your reply but with no luck. The new card has been formatted and placed into my tom tom unit having backed up the original. When i connect to my pc and try to restore the settigs to the new card its not happening. Using the tom tom cd i get the message to check power or insert SD card which is already in the unit. Any other suggestions would be gratefuly accepted.

If you are using the backup/restore in the setup menu, that message is not saying that it has a problem, it's a reminder just in case you havn't done it.

Just carry on to the next page.

I have gone to the next page with no joy. The tom tom screen tells me that there is no sd card in the unit.

I found that with me Mio 168 Tomtom, Memory Map, file explorer etc> on the ppc could not read the card correctly unless I started the ppc with no card in before fitting the new card. Did this by using the 'wake up on SD Card removal/insertion.

Changing cards now involves

switch off ppc
remove card (ppc will switch on)
switch off ppc
insert new card (ppc will switch on)

Programs are then able to read card correctly.

Try that. It MAY work for your problem.

my tom tom unit is go 300 version 5 Iam trying to transfer the files and information from the original sd card onto a new 1gb sd card. i have backed up the original sd card and attempted to transfer the files to the new card by using the restore method on the tom tom cd rom. everytime the new sd card is placed in the tom tom and i attempt to restore the settings the cd rom tells me to either switch on the power or there is no card fitted . it seems like when the new sd card is in the unit and there is no files on it the unit does not recognise the card. The new sd card has been formatted this still makes no difference. I can transfer the files to the new card using a card reader but once on the new card they are not recognised when the card is placed in the tom tom unit. i have been following all the helpful information sent to me by various people but still no joy. please please send idiot proof sheets many thanks

Am I missing something here or what.

Why not just copy contents of old card to a folder on the P C then remove the SD card insert the new one and copy the contents of said folder back to new card.
