I have an early 1005 (4 Gig, none SD card slot) It has currently got the Europe map and the memory is nearly full with only 145MB left, would it preform any better with the UK & NI map installed instead?

I'm not sure about it on the "new" models, but I've found in the past on older ones that the search features and address finding were much quicker if you used a UK only map.

I don't remember it making any difference to the Navigation side of things though.

Having not much storage memory left shouldn't make any difference at all though. The device uses it's RAM for normal operations and doesn't use the storage memory for cache in the same way as a PC does.

The older units did in fact use a Paging File system similar to a PC. Wink

Whether the new units do - I'm not in a position to know. Embarassed
