Question

I have installed TomTom 2 on my Ipaq 3970. I have installed the program, maps and voice software all on the SD card (after installing the updated SD card driver !!!).

Is this the best thing to do or should I install the progam onto the Ipaq memory and the voice/maps onto the SD card ?

Dave (no i didnt read the instructions...)

Dave,

Personally, I'd put the maps on the SD card because it will give you flexibility in future ie if you don't need the maps you can pull the SD card and put in an empty card.

Hi Phil

Cheers mate, but i guess the question i am asking is "is it better to install the application onto the main memory ? Will it run quicker than off the SD card" ?

If so i will leave the maps and voice stuff on SD and reinstall the application onto the main memory.

I'd say it's more important for the maps themselves to be on fast memory. Try getting a compactflashcard to hold them instead, should be quicker...

I store the app in main memory and the maps on the sd card. CF would be faster, but that requires a CF jacket on your ipaq.
