Navman web site recommends the fastest (512Mb) card you can get and say that the iCN is not yet suitable to have a 1Mb card installed. Have previously recommended Kingston but I seem to have bought mine at half price - cannot see the same price advertised now. Keep searching - ( I paid £29 incl)

Kingston recommend about twelve retail outlets/Internet shops who stock their products and having had a look on Ebyer's site this am they have the following:-
Kingston 512MB Elite Pro Hi-Speed Secure Digital Card
£24.93
£29.30
Manufacturer part # SD/512-S
(2 reviews) Ebuyer
Now that seems to be a good deal. Anyway, have a look on the other sites (go to Kingston.co.uk and have a look around their site). You can also download a PDF file describing the characteristics of the Hi-speed SD card, which Navman recommend you use for you iCN510. Good luck

I've just started using a Sandisk Extreme III 1Gb card I bought new from Ebay and so far no problems. If anything, just moving around the map on screen feels easier than with the Kingston 512Mb card I previously used.
Understand from seeing similar topics it's down to buying a reputable make of card with a high read/write speed. |

[quote=".........Understand from seeing similar topics it's down to buying a reputable make of card with a high read/write speed.[/quote]
Entirely agree. Navman say in their FAQ's | Quote: | (58) What is the biggest storage card that I can use with my Navman?
"At this moment the maximum storage card capacity supported is 256MB. Some 512MB work, they need to have a high data transfer speed. Check with your retailer or Navman technical support for more information. "
You pay your money and make your choice! The only caveat to buying a larger card than recommended is that if it does not work, then it's your possible loss. I did and am very happy with the result.
