In my case, TT6 works absolutely fine and snappy with my RiData 1GB miniSD 150X (w/SD adapter) and Route 66 BT GPS receiver.

My problem is with the Kingston 2GB SD Elite 50X I recently got. Performance is like night and day. TT6 is horrendously slow to do anything when using the 2GB SD 50X card, but when I use the RiData 1GB card, it's normal and snappy, just like TT5 was.

I am so bewildered. The point of getting the 2GB card was so that I would have one big card that held TT6, backups, photos, songs and so forth, because TT6 takes up about 930MB of my 1GB card. I have the whole USA and Canada on it.

Reformatting the 2GB card has produced no effect. I guess the 2GB card is the problem, even though it works fine in other uses.
I have resorted to just popping in my 1GB RiData card when I need to use TT6 and when done, switch to the 2GB card.

Next time, i'm definitely only buying RiData cards from now on.

I think some SD cards do not run at advertised speeds or are just too slow in performance.
