Tom Tom maps on SD cards

Does anyone know the last models that Tom Tom made with the maps on the removable SD card?

I thought it didn't matter what model you had, as long as it had a sd slot for a legitimate TomTom map that came on a sd card.

I don't think any of the Navcore 10.X models (10x, Via, Start 20, Go 8x) will have the slot.

I think the 940/950 models had the required sd slot.

The Go 825 and START 20 *do* have a slot for micro SD card, but the software to use it has not "quite" been released yet (the TT website still says it "Will be enabled via Software Update in Summer 2011" Rolling Eyes

)

Also, the new VIA models *do* have the uSD slot (but not the LIVE versions for some reason), and the START 20's big brother, the START 25, does too.

Here's the complete list of which UK models that are currently on sale have a uSD slot, according to TT's website (which may be wrong!).
Other countries have totally different models and specs.

AFAIK, only the GO 550 and GO 750 have working uSD card slots as of today's date.

But did TomTom sell maps on the micro cards or only on the normal sized sd cards?
