Way2Go Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi,Just copy the contents of the existing SD card into a temporary folder on your PC then copy the contents back to the new SD card. You will not have to re-register it. In fact it won't even know the swap has taken place.W2G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way2Go Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 KEWL ;-)You may also be interested to know that I'm in the progress of putting together some 'how to' instructions for using the 'Itinerary Planning' feature.As opposed to the usual shortest or quickest route, 'Itinerary Planning' allows users to select key places or particular points on the map then let TomTom fill in the bits to make a complete personal route.I should have it ready soon and will post it when its complete.Way2Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empress Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 This sounds as though it could be very useful so thank you in anticipation, Way2Go. Empress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggyd Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi Way2go When trying to copy my TomTom SD card to Temp; folder TOMTOM HOME opens, Do you think there is something built in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 That's perfectly normal. In TomTom HOME click File then Exit to shut it down.If you go into explorer you should see an extra drive listed which will be the SD card. It may say something like E:\TomTom or something like that.If you haven't already done so, in explorer, I'd advise going into Tools > Folder Options > View.Make sure there is a 'radio button' against 'Show hidden files and folders'. Also click in the box to remove the tick from 'Hide extensions for known file types'. Then click OK.All you need to do now is copy the contents of the SD card to a temporary folder, remove the original and replace with the new bigger SD card, then copy the contents of the temporary folder back to the new SD card.Put the original SD card back into it's protective plastic casing and store somewhere safe.

michele Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Silly me will this work for the 510 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yes it will Michele.The only difference between the 510 and the 710 is the map it is sold with.The 510 contains GB plus Major Roads od Europe whereas the 710 contains all roads in Western Europe including GB.

Way2Go Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'm not sure what's happened here.You've copied the files from the original SD card to a temporary folder then copied them back to a new SD card, right?Are you now saying that TomTom won't boot up with the new SD card containing the old data?Have you tried putting the old SD card back in?
