Hi im new to the site, just after some info.
I got a 510 a few days ago and straght away the unit wouldnt read the sd card so got it chaned and now seems to be working ok. I can use my nokia N70 with the unit and microphone supplied but if i try to read or write texts on the unit it says not supported, is this correct ? Also i tried to put pictures on using tomtom home but again it says not supported? What do i need to do the use these functions, also can i use the instant messaging thing, how do i use it ?

thanks

to the forum

A full list of supported phones and features can be found here http://www.tomtom.com/phones/?intProduct=210

The picture feature is not on the supported list for the TT GO 510 http://www.tomtom.com/products/features.php?ID=210&Language=1&ShowAllFeatures=1

So to answer your question; you need to change your phone and get a TT GO 910.

Can i copy the maps to a normal sd, one thats bigger so i can get more onto it ? i tried but it wouldnt read the standard sd card when it was done?

Thanks for your help. ive downloaded some voices for it, pasted them into the voices folder but for some reason they do not work. are all the voices available for the 500/700 etc or should they work and im doing something wrong ? Sad

Yes most of the old voice's work fine in the x10 range TomTom's, Although some dont. This is probably something to do with the audio format, Or the fact that some maybe encrypted to only work on a single device. This is to prevent illegal distribution of the voice's. I have most if not all of the voice's available for the TomTom range, 30 and only 25 of them work.

1, After putting the voice file's in the "voice folder" Try reseting the device.

2, Their should be 3 file's for each voice i,e dataXX (Bitmap Image), dataXX.chk, dataXX.vif.

Unless their TomTom original voice's which only have 2 file's dataXX.chk and dataXX.vif

Hi there,

I'm moving over from running TTN5 on a PDA to TomTom GO510 (which is being delivered today) Laughing

I was interested in your comments about using fast SD cards.

1. Do you know how fast the SD card is which ships with the GO510?

2. Most recognised 'fast' SD cards are around the 10Mb/sec (66x) or 12Mb/s (80x) so is the quoted 21Mb/sec (133x) really necessary or is this a bit of overkill?

3. Would I really notice any difference between say 66x and 133x? I mean, will it really respond twice as fast or redraw twice as fast or is it all relative?

Thanks for your time

Bodger

OK, thanks for that Richard. So as long as I use something around the 66x or better region I should be OK?

My GO510 has just arrived so I'm off to play.

Thanks for the reply.
