256Mb Sandisk SD Card - How to Test?
Hello,
I have an iPAQ 3950 which I run TOMTOM 3 GPS in-car navigation on, it is a wired system - not bluetooth.
Since I have upgraded from version 2 to 3 the system is prone to crashing/freezing while navigating - to get it working again I have to do a soft reset and reload the program.
I have contacted TOMTOM who said it could be the SD card causing the fault, the softwares on PDA are all up to date - it runs PPC2002.
My question is, how can I test the SD card?
data transfers fine when I slide the card in to my laptop, sometimes to get the TOMTOM program to run, I first have to unclick the card from the PDA and then click it back in again - otherwise I get a "could not mind maps data" message
Hope you can help,
many thanks in advance.

do u have a memory card reader which normally plugs in USB port of a computer and acts as removable mass storage...???
if yes, then u can insert the card into the reader and format it using Windows XP.. or try to copy big files like movies/audio etc and then read from it. if everything is fine... insert the card back in ur ipaq and format it there. Everything shud be fine.

It's v1.11, but I would reload it either way...
Let me know if that works out for you! :D
