Thanks Downunder35m.
After my post and before your answer, I read some info on this fantastic site (I was pressed to "fix" my friend's TT - I had messed it up trying to put the map of Argentina - and load the Argentina map because he was ready to fly there. Actually I have put a navcore 8 (not 9 -hoping that it is "lighter" than 9) and the map of Argentina (my friend left for Argentina yesterday!!!) on the SD card. When I had no SD card inserted it ran from internal memory the W-Europe map (in the internal memory), When I insert the SD card (w/Argentina in it) it runs the Argentina...
But I think it is "strange" and "memory-hungry" to install the Navcore on the SD card, too. Why this? Does this also happens to "legal" installations?
A friend of mine (with a different TT model!) told me this morning that you do not need to load the navcore on the SD card - He actually told me that he has the map on the SD card and uses the internal memory to load mp3 files - perhaps he uses "legal" versions only.
Two more questions:
1) Navcores 8 and 9-what are their differences?
2) The max size of the SD card depends on the NAvcore or on something else?
(I am a GARMIN guy and it was the 1st time I had a TT unit to "play" with.
Thanks in advance
