My current recommendations for 256 and 512MB are in this post.

I believe ValueFlash may have 256MB Panasonic cards branded Dane-Elec Xtreme Speed (XS) - that would likely be an even better choice than the SimpleTech Pro-X card mentioned in my post (which seems to be Toshiba), but you will have to check this with them - if you email sales@valueflash.co.uk and explains you're after a Panasonic made SD card for your Pocket PC based navigation system, they will understand.

I bought the recommended 512MB card earlier this month and am delighted with it.

The cards mentioned may not be the cheapest, but both options should be problem free. Sandisk cards (and rebadges thereof) malfunction badly in many Pocket PCs. High speed cards, especially those made by Panasonic, are, in my opinion, well worth it, though you will pay 20-30% more than the cheap rubbish available.

I think you'll most likely be fine with your CompactFlash card. Memory card problems usually affect SD cards, not CompactFlash.
