Memory card not recognized

edited June 2019 in GO x00-x50 series / ONE / START / EASE / XL & XXL (TomTom HOME)
Memory card 16gB / FAT32 not recognised by G50 / MDC. Card is visible in device info screen (holding on/off button 30sec). Naviagation display only mesage "No maps available" and that´s all, any other options are not available. I can not install any map, as internal memory is not sufficient and cannot access device to setup, as any map is not loaded. Frustrating / Disappointing. Please advice.

    Hello Doug, video helped me to understand the problem. Unfortunatelly all maps available in MDC are bigger than internal memory. Could you provide any small map, please?

    Hi @Angry_User

    Does this video help resolve it .

    https://tomtom.vanillacommunities.com/en/discussion/1034305/what-to-do-if-your-device-displays-no-maps-found/p1?new=1

    If not let us know and we can see if @VikramK can add a small map so you can fit that on the internal memory and you can then start the unit normally and cn then Format the card in the GO 50 if that's needs to be done.

    Hi @Angry_User

    I have activated a smaller map on your account.

    UK and ROI.

    It should be offered for download in MyDrive Connect.

    Hi @cemfrance

    You are on a users forum.

    A microSD card of 8GB is too small. After the format FAT32 only 7.4GB are usable. The full EU map is 8.7GB.
    You need a microSD card class 10 of at least 16GB max 32GB, a recognized brand (Samsung, SanDisk, ...)

    On your 8GB, you may be able to enter an EU zone map but for that you will have to cheat a little. Very quickly you will need for next updates a microSD card of at least 16GB. How to do: see the link of the paragraph below.

    When you have the small map, install it on the internal memory it will unlock your device. After that look at this topic, how to prepare the microSD for maps. It's a situation similar to yours and what I do with my own device.
    https://discussions.tomtom.com/en/discussion/comment/1645310/#Comment_1645310

    After that, activate in your device the map you want to use, the small map or the EU map.
    In your device not connected to the PC ==> Main Menu (4Dots ....) / Settings / Maps / choose the map you want to use.

    If @VikramK can not intervene quickly you can contact TomTom customer service for add of the small map (France 1276MB).
    France

    Hi @cemfrance

    Have you been able to download the France map offered by Vikram.

    Have you tried what @LAURE123 suggested.

    HI @cemfrance

    Glad you are sorted. =)=)

    Now remember do not delete that small map. Leave it there on your Internal memory.

    Now if you do an update of the Europe map on your extra memory if there is a problem and you lose the map with the small map loaded you can start the unit and reload the Europe map
