TomTom XL2 IQ Routes Tutorial Change Memory

Hi Guys.

I present a step-by-step increase the memory on your device. Before desoldering memory, make sure that the bootloader is at least 5136.

Good Luck

OK - Cecil B. DeMille he ain't, but anyone who is willing and able to do SMT soldering work with a soldering iron the size of a Glock 19 deserves a round of applause!

Pray tell... What are the benefits of this increase of memory size? Does it calculate routes faster? Update the screen quicker? Something else?

Presumably increase the memory size to allow for the full Europe map.

+1 Arno. A regional IQRoutes2 had only 1GB of memory, and the 'full' version had only 2GB. Providing the firmware recognizes the presence of the 4GB, one can imagine that it would be nice to avoid having to swap map segments on and off all the time.

D'Oh! Obviously not thinking straight last night!
I thought the OP was suggesting increasing the working RAM

Hi.
A very simple reason. Europe maps have 2.2 Gb

 

[Andy_P]

Yup, fully understand now.
