Can anyone shed any of there experiences on this:

Tomtom dosent like SD cards made in coutries other than japan?

I have a TwinMOS 256MB SD card (made in taiwan)and have no end of problems with tomtom freezing up, I use a navaman 3400 jacket and had started to belive it was that but i have recently discovered this coutry of origin issue with SD cards

Anyone shed any light on this?

Maybe suggest the best SD card as im willing to try anything to resolve this problem!

Yes, some of the read/write operations that TomTom seems to do in the map directory are not well liked by some cards, specifically SanDisk.

- Get a Lexar Japan card
- make sure the card is always nicely defragmented.
- enjoy a problem-free navigation...

theres also no pattern to it - I've been using a japanese panasoniuc card and just started to use a chines sandisk ultra card - reason I swopped is the ultra card won't work in my digi cam but if fine for tomtom and my 2210.

I have 3 other chinese cards which all work fine in both the camera and ipaq and another japanses one which does likewise.

There is no hard and fast rule - except avoid sandisk normal cards (and rebadged ones) as they are very slow - which is probably what is causing you problems. For peaqe of mind I would go for a panasonic one as these are japan made and the fast ones are very very good. You can get them at Argos of off ebay (and save 30%)

Naza,

Sandisk ULTRAII (Made in China) No problem whatsoever.
Bought from Ebay for less than fifty notes for 256MB! Running in HP4150 with TTN2. If you are using standard Sandisk then I think you are asking for trouble due to low speed.

Scoof. Thumbs Up

I use a std sandisk 256meg in a 5450 with a 6010 receiver and it seems to work okay. If it does lock you out (memory error) try reinstalling the map folder on the SD card, this cured the problem & TT2 booted up again.
