The 32 MB RAM is on the GO.
The SD card is different.
Which model of GO do you have?
What do you want to do with a bigger card? 256 may still be too small!

Plug GO into your PC with USB cable. Turn both on.
Find the GO as a Removable Drive in "My computer".
Open GO window.
Make a new folder on the PC desktop. Call it "Backup", or whatever you like.
Select all the contents of the GO window.
Drag them to the new Backup folder.
Wait for the transfer - could be several minutes - the GO screen will have a flashing blue symbol.
Close the GO window.
Right Click on the GO icon and select "Eject" or some similar term (varies between computers)
Change cards in the GO.
Open the GO window - it should be blank.
Open the Backup Folder.
Choose "select all" and drag to the blank GO window.
Again wait for a few minutes while it loads.
Choose "`Eject" as before.
Wait for blue symbol to stop flashing.
Disconnect GO USB cable.

| A lot of people recommend formating the new card before you use it. |

TTG's are able to handle 4GB. According to TomTom.
