Upgrading a One XL GB to One XL EU

I have been waiting for the ONE XL Europe devices to be available here but it looks like it's going to be at least another couple of weeks before I can buy one in this country (don't like the reviews of Pixmania). If I buy a ONE XL GB now will I be able, at a later stage, to download the latest Western Europe maps from TomTom's website, put them on an SD card and then have in effect a ONE XL Europe?

Pretty much, although you would, I believe, be missing out on the 1Gb of Interrnal memory. Mind you, since you can't have both lots of memory in use at the same time, it's pretty pointless anyway.

Thanks Tim. Would there be any noticeable difference in performance running the Europe maps from SD card rather than internal memory?

As long as your SD card is fast enough it will work fine in the One XL, in fact it will offer a slight advantage in that loading a new map to an SD card at some point in the future will be considerably faster than the inbuilt memory (approx 4 times faster with the card in a USB 2 compliant card reader) - Mike

Thanks Mike. After waiting for 2 weeks for the 'end of May' availability of the ONE XL Europe I will now go ahead and buy the GB.
