Where is the best place to install tomtom 6? In main memory or SD card and will it be really that much slower if I were to install it onto the SD card?

Just going to re-install everything onto my new TyTN. Can someone pls tell me what are the pros and con of installing progs onto the external microSD as opposed to the internal memory. I'm thinking that if we free as much internal memory as possible, progs should run faster.
just a few Progs I'm going to install:
Agenda fusion
SPB backup/Pocket Plus/Diary
Resco explorer
Pocket DIVX
Speed of the card is the main issue. I have a miniSD that does pretty good for installing apps on, but there's some things that it's just too slow. Depends on the app really. Generally speaking though, if I can live with it going slightly slower, I will install to miniSD, since I only use one card anyway.
If you swap cards frequently it is probably better to install the critical apps on the internal memory.
Re: What are the pros and cons of installing to external SD
Pros:
1. Have more space to install apps (I think that's the main reason)
Cons:
1. Apps won't work if card is taken off
2. If you install backup software to card, you won't be able to restore the backup file.
But in my case, I don't really interchage my mini SD card. I have 1GB and so far I've been using about 100MB where around 60MB is apps and the other 40MB is the overhead from the card and I install most apps to the card except Spb Pocket Plus

3. If you install an app to an SD card that is for example a today plugin - this could cause your device to hang as there is a slight delay in accessing storage cards when your device wakes up.

Hi all, noticed that TT7 is only supplied on a memory card, I don't want to have to keep swapping memory cards so can I copy it onto my "main" memory card? Thanks for the info.

That's exactly what I did. Although I wasn't sure what to copy over so I copied the whole lot over.
Arr that's good stuff. Did'nt want to get involved in swapping chips around. Will order TT7 when I order my HD2. Got a TyTN2 at the moment and TT6. Ta again
Dont' forget that you need the following file in order to get TT7 working with HD2
www.tomtom.com/updates/ttn7.zip
Unzip it and copy the folder 2577 and the file Start.exe onto the memory card
Switch the PDA OFF and ON to start the installation or just re-insert the memory card or just open Start.EXE from the root of your storage card.
I installed tomtom onto my phone from a sd card that came with phone ,it installed perfectly but when i took out the card and put my own sd card back in although i could still get to the tomtom installation there were no maps ,my question is can i transfer the maps to the sd card i use.
you have to copy the maps on your SD card to be able to use them. Do maps work when you use that other SD card? in that case it is a matter of copying the files from that other sd card to your own
Hi - I have tried to search for this so if it is available I'm sorry.
I recently bought TomTom Navigator 7 on a MSD card. Its a 4GB card. I have an 8GB MSD card onboard and want to keep this as I have folders, emails and music on this card. I have tried to do a simple copy from the TomTom card to my 8GB card so that I can run everything off one card instead of having to change over cards when I want Sat Nav. When I start the TomTom App (from the 8GB card) it states NO Maps. I know they are there as I can see them. The app comes with Western Europe Maps at 1GB. Can you help me run the app off the 8GB card. Many thanks. Paul
Just put the map folder in the root of the card or in My Documents folder.
You prolly need to reactivate the maps due to the change of SD card.
Just copy everything from the 4GB to the 8GB and run the install program.
Thank you folks - er but - what I did was to simply copy the entire contents of the Tom Tom card to my 8GB card. When I insert it back into my HD2 it does not Autorun as the 4GB TomTom card does. Also, sorry to be a plank, but how do I copy the maps to the root of the SD card.
When you look at the card with the my documents, program files etc in it, then that's where the "2GB Western Europe" or whatever folder the map is in should be, with the name of the folder showing.
Don't copy the contents of the folder out, you want the folder name to show.

Thats what I thought
Don't you need to generate a new code based on the "Hardware ID" from where the maps are sitting?

TomTom uses the device ID to identify a genuine installation, so it's nothing to do with the SD card. I know this from previously "reading" about TomTom
how can i install an application on 2gb sd card on HD2 running with WP7?
you dont need to.
WP7 uses SD storage and its internal memory in a form of RAID
basically, if you install WP7 with your 2GB SD card installed and the SD card is compatible, then you will use the SD card anyway,
