I need to update my tomtom go 5100 with the new map and guess what not enough memory tried to add a SD card but the device would not see it. Any ideas how to solve the problem?

Hi @jameswatts
You will need a micro SD class 10 memory Card either 16gb or max 32gb as the European map is nearly 9gb.
If you have the card installed and the GO5100 has not formatted it yet then
Tap Menu
Tap Settings
Tap System
Tap Format memory card.
If asked then format for Maps
If this does not work then what make card have you used. Sandisk, Samsung and similar major makes of cards are usually okay but some other less well known have been known to not work. Also there are some fakes cards in the market place generally from the less reliable sources.
