TomTom's site says the Go 500 has a micro SD slot. How large of a card can it take, and can that be used for map storage?

It does have a micro SD slot, we put in a 32 so not sure how large and don't know about map storage. We just received it a short time ago and really have not had time to figured it all out.Good luck and if you get the other questions answered can you please let us know.

Is this small? I need a small one for my TomTom and I cant tell what the dimensions are. The card in my TomTom is roughly one inch high

Ask Garmin. They are good about responding to their registered users. I use the GPS maps on a micro-SD card and they work in my Monterra, Montana and my Etrex 30, all of which accept a micro-SD card.

Well, I have a Garmin 60CSx and use a 1Gb Micro SD card. The owner manual says that 2gb is the limit. And I can say that this space is more that enough to have most of the maps around the world. I live in Brazil, so I use the maps of Tacksource project (www.tracksource.org.br). In a discussion list about GPS, some users tested an ultra II micro-SD and the card simply burned.Maybe, with a firmware you can use large micro SDs, but I really don´t think that is necessary.

I tried a 64gb sandisk extreme on it and it created lots of 'dead' files, so I used an old 32gb laying around. no probs with 32. I loved the video quality so gave to my husband for his minivan, and got myself a DOD TECH LS460W (via Amazon) no probs using the 64gb card. I think with 460w you can even use the 128. time is atomic, and it has gps, and speed data.

you can, this is what i ordered;Garmin City Navigator Europe NT Map Card MicroSD/SD by Garmin used about $49; you might want to get a SDHD 16 gigs; I found as I got more maps, each is 5-7 gigs; I also have USA, europe and added ASIA; wonder if 32 gig would work; not sure what else to put on it; keep all files backed up on pc and external storage;

You need to purchase a Mini SD card. You can get them under $20 depending on size.I really don't understand why Garmin did not provide enough space for a standard load with the initial purchase.

Any device that supports micro SD cards should work with this product -- assuming that it can handle a 4GB capacity. I found a forum that indicates it does, but the specs didn't have a limit I saw. My guess is that it would work.http://www.poi-factory.com/node/31057

If the device (whether it is a nuvi or an MP3 player) specifies micro SD, then only micro SD (not micro SDHC) will work. A device that specifies micro SDHC can take both micro SD and micro HCSD. 4 GB cards can be either micro SD or micro SDHC. Get only the 4GB micro SD for your nuvi if you can find it. However, 4 GB cards are generally HCSD, not SD. Thus the practical limit for your nuvi is the 2GB micro SD.

From what I remember it had a very small, probably micro, connector. I no longer have the Tom Tom as I find Google maps/navigator on my phone much more efficient. It also stopped working after TomTom sent a download and they refused to do anything about it so I would also recommend you get a Garmin!

The XL 340-S should have more memory. With this drawback noted, it is still a great GPS. 1st, back it up on your PC with the PC software. Next use TomTom home to delete the junk you don't use like foriegn voices. Now you've freed up enough room to instal a new map that fits. You'll need to do the math to make sure it fits. You may also need to delete some of the other stuff you downloaded to make room. The problem with this GPS is simple, it lacks enough memory so you need to manage what is in the GPS. It is still the best GPS in this price range.

I have not tried to look at Europe or GB on my new tom tom, it's in my wifes vehicle. The tom tom I use everyday {3 years old} does not have those maps, only the U.S.

You can use a cheap microSD card with the isostick - I use a 16GB one, myself :)

The owners manual does NOT indicate the maximum size MicroSD card that will work in this GPS. Online GPS forum discussions mention that 8GB is what Garmin recommends; and a couple of users report that some 16GB cards will work. However, several users report that the 8GB card will hold both US and Canadian maps, with room to spare.

I would get a 2 or 4 GB SD card and then purchase the maps from Garmin or elsewhere. You have more flexibility that way and you can also store tracks, waypoints, etc on the SD card.

Sorry bit I don't know about TomTom. I am using it with Garmin Nuvi 50 where it fits perfectly
