|
|
I am using an iPAQ 2210 with TTN3. If I put (say) the UK maps on an SD card and (most of) the maps of Western Europe on a 1GB CF card, will the two cards work seamlessly together merely by using the "Switch map" option? Anyone tried it, please? |

Yep, works fine - that's the way I have mine set up. GB +MRE on an SD card, and France and CH on a CF card. All are listed when you chose the option to switch maps.
Word of warning, because France is a big map, you need quite a fast card, otherwise it is painfully slow to calculate routes/load maps etc.
Regards,
Steve |

Hi Steve,
Many thanks for your very prompt help and advice on card speed - latter much appreciated, as I haven't bought a CF yet!

I know some people slate Sandisk, but the Ultra II CF that I have works quite well. I think it is rated at x60 or something like that.... |

Unless I've missed something, there's been no criticism of Sandisk CompactFlash cards. The problems that people have had have been with Sandisk SD cards.
