 |
|
as some of you might know ive had problems with my go300 and it could be down to the sd card
also sometimes the voice directions are a bit slow so i thought if i get a better sd card it might solve the problem??
so what sd card should i get for the go300 i dont want a cheap and nasty one  could someone point me in the right direction
also when i get it i dont have to format it or anything like that
i know that kingston are good but i have no idea what card to get well i know to get 1gb but which one i dont know
cheers |

Any card that is at least x50 speed. I used a ByteStor x80 successfully.
It doesn't need to be Ultra Fast, and every card I've ever bought is pre-formatted.

You may as well go for the Kingston Ultimate, it's faster and not much more expensive. I use the 2GB Ultimate for my Pocket PC and 1GB Ultimate for photography. Never any problems. |

You're right, I just Googled and can't find a 1GB Ultimate.  Maybe they've stopped production in favour of the 2GB. |

Thats the minimum recommended speed.
Anyway aren't Kingston just rebadged oem rejects?
So it may not even be the speed it supposed to be.
Theres a long thread here about what works and doesn't

No. You can test the read speed of your orig TT card on your PC.
Above a certain speed the TT will not run any faster as there will be other limitations, but why buy a card that just meets the minimum spec when they are so cheap now?
My mate got a 2GB "hi-speed" SD from Aldi for <£10 and it works fine in his 510 |

I tried a Kingston ultimate SD card for my Go300 when the version 6 software came out.
It worked for the version 5 software but was not fast enough for version 6 and just hung on boot up.
Had to get a ByteStor card |

its worked faultlessly so far. ok, only 512k but plenty for what i need. you may be able to get a larger size.
cheers.
