When looking at the TT website it seems that I can't get a USA Map on SD card for the GO750. Or am I wrong? If so what one do I get?

Do you specifically want to BUY a map on an SD card, or do you just want to INSTALL a map on an SD card?

I can't see a US map on SD card on the UK TomTom website, but even when you look at this:
Map on MicroSD card Western and Central Europe IQ routes™ v8.70

..... for some bizarre reason, none of the Go x50 models are shown as compatible! I've got no idea why this is, I suspect it's a mistake, as there's no reason at all why you can't run maps from a micro-SD card on that model.

I'll see if I can get an answer from TT about why the Go x50 models are missing from the list.

------------------------------------------

You'll also note that Europe map is not even the latest version! (we are currently on v875 maps)

------------------------------------------

But there is no reason why you can't buy your own micro-SD card and buy a downloadable map? It will be cheaper and more up-to-date.

Make sure you buy a good quality SCHC micro-SD card, 4GB minimum size and Class 6 minimum speed rating.

------------------------------------------

You may also have heard about TomTom producing "map zones" for the Europe maps as the full map won't fit on the internal memory. I don't think the same is the case for the US yet, but just in case, here is a guide to make sure you are offered the FULL map for your SD card.

Map Zones - full map on new memory card


P.S. - I see you got a useless answer on TT Discussions. They didn't mention ready-made maps on SD card at all! Rolling Eyes
