Kingston 1gb Card Problems

Mattie · Occasional Visitor Joined: Jan 18, 2006 Posts: 22

Yesterday I tried transferring data from a new France SD onto a new Kingston 1gb SD, all the files seemed to transfer but the card was not recognised by my Classic. A 512mb Viking works fine. Are there problems with Kingston media or 1gb capacity in a Classic?

Thanks

Matt

You can get problems with any card if it has a defect but some people have problems specifically with Kingston cards in certain devices.

France 254MB. France Plus 346MB.[/quote]

Thanks, I'll buy another 512kb and try that. Are there files that can be excluded?

Matt :D

I have a Kingston SD Card on my PDA (512MB Ultra) and Digital Camera (1GB and have a 1GB Ultra on order), my son has 1GB Kingston in his PDA, two other friends have 512MB Kingston's.

Never had any problems. But I'm sure you will have a number of other recommendations for different makes.

I know Kingston cards are OK in many ways and applications but I was thinking specificaly about use with Tom Tom. It's not the first time I have read of problems on this forum.

Make sure you use an High Speed SD Card

I bought a bog standard Crucial 1GB SD card (just over £20) for my TT1 a couple of weeks ago and it works fine. As I understand it, with the high speed cards you are paying for write speed, and that's not really what you need when you are mostly just reading map data off the card. You just need an adequate read speed. I've noticed zero difference in behaviour using the new card compared to using the original supplied by TT.

I have a Kingston 133x 1 Gb card (from picstop) and it works just fine in my TT1.

If you use a standed SD Card you may have problems as the device cant read the maps as quick as when using an high speed SD Card, Also it will take longer to calculate the routes, Your directions will be delayed, Its like having an old computer!
