Good Evening All,
I've got myself a Navigo V3 from ebuyer a while back and am successfully running tomtom one on it with UK and Ireland maps, I can't for the life of me remember how I did it as it was such a loooooooonng time ago but it works just about!
Recently I borrowed the device to a family member and they somehow managed to wipe the maps off the device, I think it may have happened when they pressed the reset button at the back when the unit froze whilst in use. Wasn't really a problem as I had the SD card backed up on my HD whilst I was trying to upgrade it, which I gave up on.
As I have some time on my hands now, I want to try and update this device now to the latest tomtom software if it can be done? I also recall back in the day, that there was a way of installing multiple satnav programmes on this device like turbodog and igo etc.. and having the option upon boot up of the device to choose which you would like to use, the site where I read about this no longer exists, so was hoping that someone here might know what I'm on about and be able to point me in the right direction??
My first problem is, what type of SD card can this device handle? I cannot find the technical specs for this device anywhere online and I haven't kept the original paperwork for it. From what I've read online, only certain branded SD cards work on this device, to a maximum of 4GB NON SDHC. I have tried using a sandisk 2gb SDHC SD card in it and it wasn't having it, I also tried a kingston 4gb micro SDHC SD in the device and once again, it didn't like it.
I am currently using a sandisk 256MB SD card in the device, which is non SDHC and that works fine but if I wish to upgrade the tomtom I currently have on it or try the multiple satnav progammes on one device option or even if I want more than just UK maps on the device, I will need a larger capacity SD card.
Can anyone tell me firstly the largest capacity SD card this can take to start with and secondly if it has to be NON SDHC and if so, where the best place would be to get one?
From what I have read, this SD card problem has only effected the V3 models of this device and the V2 and V1 of this device can utilise upto 8GB SDHC SD cards, which I find rather strange.
Once I have overcome this hurdle, can anyone point me in the right direction for a guide on how to install the latest tomtom onto this device??
Any advice and help on this would be much appreciated, thanks in advance for your time and help.
