Hi,

I have a tomtom one first edition, If I got the DVD with the maps of western europe on, would i need a new SD card or is the factory one big enough to store the maps?

Thanks

Josh

Hi, I take it you have UK and Irland maps,(Reganal), In which case, no, the original card isn't big enough. According to TomTom, you will need a 1GB card, and get a fast read card.

Also, DON'T put anything on the original card. This is your ONLY copy of the maps/softwear you have. Copy the original card with windows explorer onto a file on your computer, then copy it from the computer onto another SD card, and put the original away in a safe place. I even burned a copy onto a CD. Have a look here, how to do it.

Thanks for the help, so would a card like this suffice?

Could I then just
1) borrow my friends tomtom europe SD card
2) use my card reader to copy the files to my computer
3) Copy files my SD card like in the above link
4) Put in tomtom?

Thanks
