If you want to use a new or empty memory card with TomTom HOME, it needs to be initialised so that HOME can detect it. To initialise your card, do the following:
Personal navigation devices eg. GO
1. | Connect your navigation device to HOME without the memory card inserted. |
2. | Make a backup of your device. |
3. | Disconnect your device. |
4. | Insert the memory card into your device and then connect the device to your computer. |
Tip: HOME will now read from/write to the memory card instead of the device's internal memory.
Your memory card is now initialised. The next time you insert this card into the card reader in your computer with HOME running, it will be recognised as an install location.
Note: Memory cards used with GO x20, x30 or x40 navigation devices are not intended to be used separately in a card reader. Hence if you access one of these cards through HOME in a card reader, HOME will not recognise the card.
Built-in car navigation eg. Carminat TomTom
1. | Switch on your Carminat TomTom. |
2. | Insert the new memory card into your Carminat TomTom. |
3. | Wait for a few seconds so that the card can be initialised by your Carminat TomTom. |
4. | Remove the card from your Carminat TomTom and insert it into a card reader connected to your computer. |
Your new card is now ready for use with TomTom HOME.
TomTom NAVIGATOR
Note: Memory cards from pocket PCs, PDAs or other devices which use TomTom NAVIGATOR cannot be used with HOME and a card reader.
