TomTom Canada map slow compared to Incar Nav

Postby naviboy » Sat Jun 17, 2017 9:27 pm

Just returned from driving in Alberta and luckily the hire firm gave me a car with Incar Nav.

My TomTom with the Canadian map despite running from a SD card, was slow. As the route map and instructions were behind, meaning I passed the turning before being told or shown. Although on the main transcontinental highway was not a problem as turnings are every 20 miles etc, but in City it was slow in comparison to the car nav system.

Would this be due to the now outdated model I have or some other issue.

Sounds like you're using a class 4 SD card which will be a lot slower when compared to a class 10 SD.

Don't know what you have but what you describe is normal if you are using a Loquendo voice on a 32MB device without a memory boost. Using a Navcore specifically designed for 32MB devices sorts it out.

OK thanks, Just checked my sd and it is a class 4. You think it would be on par with a in-car nav by switching to a 4gb class 10 sd.

The car I had in Alberta was a Ford Fusion (Mondeo) 2ltr Auto with Fords Nav system.

Searching his old posts finds he installed downunders NC 9.510 32MB Memory Boost a while ago

I don't know about that but a class 10 SD card runs just as quickly as an internal drive does
