Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 10:45 pm Post subject: Tom Tom One Memory Card!! |
|
|
Just bought a TOMTOM One and downloaded more maps from the website then found the memory card was too small. Contacted TomTom about buying a new card no response. Which card do I buy for the Tom Tom one series 2?
Thanks for any advise.

what maps have you downloaded?
if it was the western europe map you will need a 1gb card. this will also allow space for the camera database download and some extra voices etc. if required.
try to get as fast a card as you can afford and a reputable brand name. i bought a 'cheapie' from ebay and although it works in my camera, my tomtom one v2 rejects it.

TomTom don't sell blank media (SD cards).
Try Amazon for a 1Gb card. |

Be careful what SD cards you get if you get 4Gb or greater as they are not all compatible with the TomToms.
In fact not compatible with a lot of devices. _________________ ________________________________________

Get a decent brand of card, not just the cheapest. Also it needs to be reasonably "High speed" (although any decent brand these days will probably be OK), but "Ultra" isn't neccessary. |

The Transcend 150x 2GB from Amazon was suggested by some on this site and seems to be used by several posters, that now includes me it was £11.99 + £4.50 for pp so total cost delivered £16.49 and it works well there is a 1 GB card but its only slightly cheaper so you may as well go for something with lots of free space just in case. |

I can recommend the Transcend card also, but with a slight note of caution.
For some reason, despite its quoted and presumeably justified speed rating, it just isnt that fast in the tomtom, for most people doing a back to back comparison between the original TT card & the transcend calculating an identical complicated route the original card will win hands down.
Having said that-my transcend card has behaved flawlessly and the slower route calculation doesnt factor in for daily use, and the manufacturer backs up the card with a lifetime warrantee once you have registered its serial number on their website.

Tesco sell a 1Gb card for £20.00 and card readers for £12.00. The 1Gb works ok in my tomtom one v2 no problem.. |
