optimum micro sd size to run Tomtom from?

I'm about to buy a micro SD card for my mogul so I can install Tomtom nav software on it. I'd of course like to have a 4 gig card so I can fill whatever's left with music and such, but are there benefits to running a smaller 2 gig card when running map software from it? I've heard in some reviews where using a 4 gig poor quality micro SD card vs a sandisk 2 gig card made a huge difference in performance (with the smaller card processing inter-state routes much faster)

I have TomTom installed on my Sandisk 4GB microsd with no problems. It runs perfectly fine and I use it quite a bit. My 8GB microsd should be delivered any day now and I'll move everything to that and see how it works.

hmm ok good to know - I'll probably just go ahead and order a 4 gig then.

Not sure about TomTom, but with iGuidance you can load certain maps only, but still you I wouldn't go with anything smaller than a 2GB. 4 or 8gb is preferred imo.

I have a 2GB card and I had to sacrifice music/movie space for GPS maps(90% used by iNAV.. no biggie.. but I plan on getting an 8GB. I would recommend 4GB or more.

TomTom is a pay program. But it can be HAD from shady sources. Torrents are your friends.
