Hello.
I currently have an 8gb memory card in my Go 5000 and I would like to change it for a larger new 32gb card but cannot find any instructions. Can I just remove the current one and replace with the new one. Do I need to turn off, format etc., etc. please?

SuperuserHi @Copthornedas
If you have a map on your internal memory then you can remove the existing card and insert a new one and format it on the unit ready for use.
If the only map you have on your device is on your Extra Memory then you need a small map which @vikram could possibly allocate to your account on Monday. Once he has added the map then you can download that to the units internal memory then you can do as I said in Para 1.
If the only map is on the extra memory if you take the card out then the unit will not start and you will not be able to format the new card.

You have a device that comes with World maps. So adding a smaller map like Venezuela should help.
