Hello, today I bought and installed a micro SD card into the device, a START 52. This as the map updates were too large and after having spoken to TOM TOM customer service. The format of the card was done on the device, as prescribed, but now when I try to connect to TOM TOM, the device does nothing and the SD card is not visible. Any ideas??

Hi @dtjb
There are some cards that do not seem to work properly in the TT units but I would take the card out and Reformat it in my PC. Format it to Fat32 doing a full Format not a Quick Format then try again.
I suggest a Sandisk, Samsung or similar major make from a reliable source to avoid fakes.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, Doug. I tried that many times but the device screen has a red 'X' between the device icon and the computer icon, even though it is connected.0

Hello, Doug. I proceeded to remove the INTENSO SD card, which I bought brand new and fitted a TDK replacement. It now appears to be functioning as it should. Once again I thank you for your most informative direction.0
