Thread: Which load faster, SD or internal storage of nuvi?

In my experience, there's very little perceivable load difference (if any). I have not actually tried the comparizon on 3xxx model.

Class 10 means nothing in terms of performance. That is an SD "write speed" factor and the GPS does not write to the SD.

SD adds convenience but you do have plenty of room in the new 8gig models.

My advise - take it or leave it. :Animated92:

It is ALWAYS much wiser to copy any new and untested (by you) data to an external (micro)SD card before finally using it on the GPS internal flash memory.
At least if there are any problems - lock ups etc. - you can remove the card.

Yes - I learnt my lesson the hard way.

Your choice but I did warn you. My conscience is clear.

Excellent advice I have had garmins freeze when loaded with certain software.
