Yes. It doesn't matter where the application is stored, except that if you have applications on both internal and external memory devices, the external one will take precedence. Maps can also be installed on either medium and all maps will be available, provided they are properly activated, wherever they are stored.

I am not sure the tom tom will recognise a 4gb card tried one in both a rider 2 and 1 xl and it will not read it.

Format the 8GB card under Windows Explorer using an SDHC compatible reader connected to the PC, then use the full capacity as intended. You will have to load files (music, maps etc) via the card reader as the x20 cannot correctly use the SDHC card at this capacity when in PC connected mode, it is fine once you have the data on the card and working though - Mike

Can you tell how to Formate under windows Explorer?

Put the card in an SDHC compatible reader (not the TomTom unit as its not capable of doing this currently) and insert it to a USB slot on the PC, locate the card in Windows Explorer, right click it and select format from the list of options presented.

As a tip don't have the TomTom device connected when you do this, if you get the drive letter wrong you could wipe the internal Flash memory through a simple mistake - Mike

Done
i formate the Card with Fat32 but it still not Avaible in my tomtom
So my tomtom doesnt know there is SD who have 8GB

Put the card in the reader and copy the required files to the card using Windows Explorer, make sure you put the files into the correctly named folders.
Once the data is on the card insert it to the 720 and you will find it can read the data.
Music files go into a folder named "mp3" (without the "") the "mp3" folder should reside in the root of the memory card.

What are you trying to put on the 8GB card? - Mike

Well what i am trying to put in the SD8GB is my New map what i'v Got from tomtom Western And Central Euroup V7.15 wich is 1.91GB
and my Tomtom HD is only 2GB
So i thought to get 8GB for the future if there is something new i wont be bothered.

about the SD Card, Maybe the Tomtom Doesnt know it because it another mark ( name ) or not ( KINGSTON)
