Haven't really used my Maps & More much yet, and have mainly been playing music via ipod connected to the aux input of the car stereo which is a bit annoying. It appears however that you can utilise the Maps & More microSD card slot to play music from, and it will be a bit more interactive, with the capability to display album covers etc. Reading the online manual didn't shed much light, and I've been googling away trying to find out if I have to look for any specific specification of card, as there seem to be variants such as class 4, class 10 etc, plus the Micro SDHC cards. Does literally any sort of card that says micro SD work with Maps & More?
yes, as far as I am aware any micro SD card should work, only upto a 32GB size card, and then the speed it work will make a difference and thats where the different classes come into play.

I am using a PNY 8 GB. When saving files to Mp3 using an Apple IMac it would not recognise the files but as soon as I saved files using windows (.WAV ) files it played them with no problem.
Umm, I'd selected to be informed by email if my post had any replies, but just manually had a look there after receiving no notifications and there were five posts!
Okay let's see...
Thanks for the tip on classes Willowaz, I eventually picked that up reading the SD Card entry on wikipedia, but at first I thought it was maybe like 4th generation, 10th generation etc, so a Class 10 is the fastest at present I believe.
vwild1 - the UK manual as found on the navigon site doesn't mention recommended brands or capacities of microsd card to go for (yes, I checked it again, to no avail). Can't vouch for the manual on the device, or for non UK manuals, but it's the online UK one I've been reading.
Navigon's site has this reasonably recent page which mentions that they like sandisk brand, and lists the maximum capacities that different models of Navigon device can handle:
It doesn't specifically list Maps & More, but on my Maps & More it says something like Navigon 70/71 Premium so perhaps that suggests 8Gb maximum? Has anybody been using a 32Gb one with success?
Just thought I'd post an update to say that I went for a Sandisk 32 Gb Micro SD card, loaded a bundle of music on to it and it seems to be working fine!
I stick to buying mine direct from Amazon, not a third party seller on Amazon. Rightly or wrongly I assume that this assures me an original product and not a fake Edited by: bugbabe34
I am using a Sandisk 16GB and it works fine, but is there no way of arranging the songs so you can choose a particular album? I just have hundreds of songs in a great long list where you cannot find anything.
Yes, you just need to create folders (I have created a folder for each artist rather than for each album) and then drag and drop the relevant song files into the relevant folder.
Well, I have an SD card slot on my laptop, so I just plug in the SD card and the computer recognises it. I can then go into "Computer", where all my drives are listed, double click on the SD icon and I can then explore, add or delete folders, files etc, just as you would with any drive orstorage device.
I presume that if you don't have an SD card reader on your PC and you attach M&M to your computer via USB with the SD card in situ, you can also access the SD card in much the same way? I've never done this, so perhaps someone who has could confirm?
However, adding files directly to the Micro SD card whilst it's in the M + M is painfully slow.
