walshie Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I've got a basic Tomtom that does the UK and Europe. We're going to the U.S later this year and I'd like to run U.S maps on it. There's a slot for an SD card, but you can't buy maps on SD cards of parts of the U.S any more. You have to download the maps of the whole country. I've got 2gb free on the device, but nowhere on the Tomtom site does it say how big the U.S map is. Does anyone know if I would need to get an SD card, and if so, what size? Obviously I don't want to start downloading it to find it won't fit. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph5172 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) I have swapped maps by deleting one then adding the other - obviously swapping when I got home. Not sure if you can still do it but once purchased the maps remained on your ‘store’ there is a help section on Tom Tom support regarding cards and device compatibility Edited February 19, 2019 by ph5172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyefor Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 First - why not download the maps for free to your phone and don't use the TomTom? Second (if I remember correctly) Tightchoke has a full US TomTom map (2015 / 16 ish) on SD card that was included in the TomTom I gave him for free. Might be worth a PM?

Free is one of my favourite words. 👍 Along with puppy and moist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
