Best SD card to buy

Looking at purchasing the new maps for my classic.

As this will inevitably entail purchasing a new SD card, I thought I would ask advice on the most suitable card available for the Tomtom - Viking?

I know in the early days there were some compatability problems with cards...

I can't believe the price diffference between downloading and ordering on SD card!

I was just about to ask the same question.

I have just downloaded the latest maps for my Tom-Tom Go and then realised they would not fit on my present card (256mb). So I to am looking for a new card probably a 1gb and was thinking of the Viking.

Try

I've found them very helpful with prompt replies to email, and when I purchased my 1gog Peak card from them they offered to exchange it if it wasn't suitable for SatNav. (It works fine with my PDA setup)

I've just noticed that my GO has started locking up when accidentially 'taking a picture' by clicking on top-left of screen. I now realise it was locking up because it was trying to write to the SD card referred to above.

I've just put back in a Viking 1GB and the good performance has returned. It 'snaps' very quickly. So, if you followed my link above - the feedback seems to be correct.

Sorry if I misled you.

Thanks for that. Actually only need 512 SD card for the GB/ROI & Major Roads of Europe (300MB).

So even cheaper! I know it's penny pinching but it's enough for me, even with voices and Speed cam database. 8)

Ha, but future proofing, I thought my 256mb would be large enouph for future updates but who knows what Tom-Tom will get up to next Question
