I'm looking to upgrade to a TT GO 530, does anyone know what size the SD Card is?
What i'd like to get is the TT GO 530 Traffic, but will have to see how much extra that will cost.
Also, which Garmin or Navman is on a par with the TT i'm looking at.

Cheers

Keith

The 530 uses built in Flash Memory for storage, it has 1GB built in, you can add an SD or SDHC card upto 4GB if using maps, upto 32GB if all you want is music and pictures on the card. The device can also share the date in its memory and card so you can have maps on the device (or card) etc and the unit will see all of them - Mike

I tried a 16GB SDHC card for just music and it wasn't recognised at all. I had to drop down to a 4GB card.

The device will not act as a card reader/ writer with cards over 4GB capacity, what you do is use an SDHC type card reader, in the root of the card create a folder named "mp3" without the "" put your mp3 files into the folder using Windows Explorer.
Pop the card into the TomTom and will read the music files - Mike
