    the maps have to be downloaded at the TOMTOM web site, they are not on the SD card, they are stored on the units internal memory, it is blank then? no maps?

    no matter the source of the maps you still have to pay to download them at the factory web site. send it back, u got taken i think, hope you payed with paypal, file a complaint.

    IF U AN GET THE MAPS FREE, EVEN A OUTDATED VERSION THAT WOULD WORK GREAT UNLESS U ARE IN AN AREA WHERE THEY ARE ADDING LOTS OF NEW STREETS, WHERE I LIVE THE TOWN IS OLD SO NOT MUCH CHANGES, WON'T SPEND THE $100+ THEY WANT FOR MAPS, THE UNIT ONLY COST $150 NEW (GARMIN 200W)



    WHAT IS THIS MAP SITE YOU MENTIONED? NEVER HEARD OF IT.



    COULD U PLEASE RATE MY HELP, THAT IS ALL I ASK FOR MY HELP, A FAIR RATING..

TRIED TO UPDATE MY TOMTOM GO 710 BUT NOT ENOUGH MEMORY BOUGHT NEW CARD BUT TOM TOM WONT TAKE IT TRANSFERED DATA BACK ON TO OLD CARD BUT TOMTOM WONT TAKE THIS...SHOW TWO CROSSED HAND ON MEMORY CARD...

Just had the same problem..............

I discovered that you must only use an SD card and not an SDHD card.

I bought a bigger SD card (2Gig), installed it and copied the data I wanted without any probs. With the SDHD card I couldn't transfer anything and didn't get any help as to why...(there's a lot to be said for trial & error).

Hope this helps

I HAVE A TOM TTOM GO 710...DOES IT NEED A SIM CARD

yes, the tomtom 710 needs the sd card which has the maps on it. if you just bought it and didnt get one with it, i suggest you take it back, because the cost of the card often out weights the value of the gps.

if you want to buy a sd card for it, you can get one HERE on the tomtom site or you might want to try ebay.com which sometimes they have them...i just checked ebay for you and currently there are none listed.

sounds like you got taken on the ebay buy. If the seller will not assist you with a working code, enter a paypal dispute and get your money back.

When I switch on my TomTom, SD card has a red cross?

This problem is due to the memory card not containing the TomTom application or map. To update the application onto the memory card, Connect the device to your computer. Open the TomTom Home application. Click on 'Update My Device'. This should then install the application onto the SD card. Alternativly, you could perform all the steps above without the SD card in the device, this will install the application onto the internal memory. Note: you may also need to install your maps, voices, etc after you update.

Tom tom one xl wont accept SD card with map on

If you have TomTom that have the slot for SD card, then it should accepted the SD card. The instruction for how to use the SD card is simple, but it is hidden in the TomTom Home, that's why it's difficult to find it. Below are the instruction how to use the SD card.

1. Format the SD card (FAT32) and do not stick the SD in the slot yet
2. Run Backup (connect TomTom device to computer)
3. Disconnect TomTom from computer and turn off
4. Slide the SD into the slot and connect TomTom back to computer (choose "yes")
5. In the TomTom Home menu, Choosen Backup & Restore >>> and choosen Restore

TomTom Home will add all applications to the SD card. So the internal memory still have the applications and the SD card also had the same applications. Everytime you slide the card in, TomTom will automatic detect and use it as its primary storage, if it not detect, you can go to the device menu and pick the device to connect to.
Whenver you take the SD card out, then TomTom will use its internal memory.

Hope this helpful
