Some Concerns re: new TOMTOM one

[battom]

Doh! I honestly must have read right over that every time I read the post. (or mabe he edited -hehe )

is a 130x speed SD card the fastest available, or are there faster ones?

 

[battom]

I JUST and I mean JUST read a post teat someone has a 166X... but I personally have never seen such a thing listed online... (doesn't mean they aren't out there though)

I just replaced my standard kingston 2G card with a new the faster elite pro card the same dealer had one at the same price so I figured I would try it. and it is behaving like the old card, sluggish! If i want to do an advance plan of a location that is 1000miles away it takes many minutes before I get a result + it is sluggish when I type etc. I am frustrated here. the only thing i don't have on the 2g card is the tom tom screen advertising , i wouldn't think not having this would slow things down. Also with the 1G card I had lots of memory left over 2 to 1 meg usually, now it's .7 to .1 Meg. Any other ideas. Could it really be these kingston cards are so slow? or perhaps I have an odd setting causing the problem? I am using latest software upgrade and na maps and 7 or so voices

The more options you have turned on... ie POIs enabled, the slower the device becomes. Not sure what you have on... but suntime starts @ bootup, Tripmaster can be configured to start @ bootup, Event_Logger starts @ bootup....

Try a bare bones config. If it's still slow, or slow with your 1GB card.... you might have a bigger problem.

Heck even my Sandisk 4GB card runs fine....

I had my poi turned off. and don't have any third party programs, but in while driving around with it everything runs smoothly, the biggest issue is planning long trips

 

[battom]

with advanced planner, not begining a trip...right?

on the way to work today i played around with different destinations, I live in detroit area, first trip was to toronto, it took less than a min to route and did the proper routing for the trip. I cleared that then did chicago and also less than a min. to get a route. However when I did a trip to nyc again starting at my current location in detroit it took 5min!

wasn't using advance planner
i'm using the NA maps latest firmware and software

You definitely have a problem, maizeblue. On my TomTom ONE, it calculates Detroit to Toronto in 7 seconds. Detroit to NYC in 30 seconds.

So is the problem with the card, or with the internals of the TomTom?

 

[maizeblue]

I timed it with the usa and canada maps with my original stock tomtom card and detroit to toronto and detroit to toronto were about 15 seconds. NYC was just under 2 min.
