Help with older system please

#1 (**permalink**) 03-10-2004, 09:13 AM

Hi everyone

I am running Tom Tom 2 with an Ipaq 3970. I know there are known problems with slowness of the system, but mine is excruciating.

I have set the route planning to 'fast' and it is quite good on local routes, but I need to get to Birmingham from the south soon, and have the 32 mb map downloaded onto a 128 mb SD card, and it is so slow it is unusable.

The TomTom site suggests formatting the SD card, but I don't know how to do this.

Would upgrading to TomTom 3 help?

All of your suggestions are gratefully appreciated.

Welcome to our forums.
Try loading a small 16MB map onto the internal memory of the 3970 and see if it's any faster. If it is then get a new SD card. I use the 3970 and find it fast enough TBH. Upgrading would prbably not help if it's your SD card causing the problem.
