best SD card for GPS which?

which brand is the best for GPS?

try to stick to the ones made in japan e.g....
toshiba
lexar
simpletech
panasonic
hitachi
kingston
they offer fastest data rates i have a 1gb peak ultra 60x sd and it isnt as fast as my simpletech 256mb o i use that for tomtom as the 1gb one makes it freeze alot
gaz

I use ATP and only ATP - their SD cards have never given me a problem and the 1Gb version works flawlessly with my TomTom
They have a 2Gb version out now too - bit expensive tho

where can i get those sd made japan m8?
i dont think i could get 1g atp sd in UK for less than 50quid.

you can try ebay, expansys.co.uk, ebuyer.com, dabs.com, svp.co.uk, komplett.com
many sites just go with the brands i put down

Best prices I have seen for good quality cards are here.....

Or try Ebay - 1gb ATP card for about £55

Transcend 4GB 150X SD and o2 Mini

Just picked up my 4GB card at the PO just now.
It is the Transcend 4GB High Speed 150X card
It works on my Mini straight out of the packaging...no formatting necessary.
But if you are going to buy this card for your Mini, test it out first anyway just to be sure that it can work on your Mini. Don't buy blindly just because you read this post.
For a list of devices that are compatible with this card, visit the Transcend's website here

I didn't think Magicians could use cards bigger than 1GB?

now you know :lol:

4GB Adata SD not compatabile
Via confirmation of a buyer on ebay selling the 4GB Memory card 150X Adata Secure Digital SD; he says that this make is NOT compatible.
O2mini_noob: did you purchase your Transcend from one of those ebay far-eastern sellers?
I think I need one too- only about 100MB left on 2GB!

AData 150X 4GB won't work because the same brand 2GB failed to work on some Magician models.
I took the punt on Transcend because of this web site that claims the Transcend 4GB will work with the o2 mini
http://www.smartphonestunts.nl/index.php?tid=101

Yes, I actually bought a 2GB Adata a long time ago to find out exactly that.
The only thing holding me back from getting a 4gb is not knowing what device I will be getting next and when; will it be Standard SD or miniSD :!:

add 2 other confirms. a jam user and m500 user on modaco both confirm this card working!

Yo O2mini_noob!
Nice for you that it works, do you have a later build mini?
Please post the date when your phone was build (there must be a reason why these cards work on some magicians)

My Mini is about 4 weeks old...the firmware is 1.12 WWE with 1.12 Radio

Can anybody tell me if my mda compact is compatible with 2 giga card(san disk or kingston),without problem with tomtom and other programs?Thanks!

I'm using a Topram 4GB 150x card. No problems.

I'm using a standard Sandisk 2GB with no problems. Other posters said that Sandisk Ultra II 2GB cards also work fine.

Max size for SD card

I've looked everywhere for info, can anyone tell me the max size the SD card can be or is it unlimited?
Many thanks,
Neil.

i believe that 4gb is the maximum, but only certain brands seem to work.
i have a 2gb one works like a charm

TOPRAM 4GB mini SD card
Ok guys... its true the max at this moment is 4GB but it needs to be TOPRAM mini SD card. SO Check at ebay and you can find some good one.

I wish to try...
Thanks

Almost any 4gb SD card will work properly as in most of the newer ROM´s there is a tool for changing the type of the card
I´m using an SDHC 4gb kingston card and works great!

But is better used 4GB SD card or SDHC card?

4GB card can only be SDHC (anything over 2GB has to be SDHC by definition)

HI mate. Download this excellent file from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377391
then I dont think any card will be a problem. After I installed that cab file. I am now using an 8gig transcend. ( TF CARD in a SD ADAPTER ).

that is absolutely not true. i have a 4gb card at home, which is NOT sdhc. 4gb is the size border between the two standards and therefore there are both standards present at that size.
