How do I copy large Tomtom files to my iPaq?

Jammer

I have an iPaq 3870.
I've got an old copy of some Tomtom maps.
I have to copy the files accrosss directly.
The problem is that I can't copy accross anything bigger than 50MB.
The connection just conks out!

I've been told by a posting to iPaq forums that I need to get a memory card reader.
But I think that's stooopid!
I should be able to copy any size file I like!

I've asked Tomtom - 2 weeks later no answer.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Is there a file splitter program I can use?

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

OM

Get yourself a stoooopid memory card reader. Not the smartest solution but by far the least painful.

An SD card reader revolutionised my life. Installing TomTom maps (which I do a lot) used to take 15 minutes or more. Now it takes 2 minutes. Well worth the tenner!

The problem is ActiveSync which has problems with large files and is VERRRRRYY SLLLLLLOOOOWWWWW.

Card reader is the way to go.

Hhmm....I have the same problem when I try to do this using ActiveSync on my Dell Laptop, but if I use ActiveSync on my Dell Desktop there is no problem, apart from it taking 15 minutes.

Sync using the serial connection is sometime more reliable than USB.

a USB 2.0 memory card reader was one of my better investments, and when I was away and forgot to take it with me it was another of my better investments Laughing

Always nice to be able to load ½ gig of data in under 5 minutes 8)
