Less than 4 GB (FAT16):
2 GB SD (SanDisk) FAT16 mit 32K: format X: /FS:FAT /A:32K
4 GB and more (FAT32):
4 GB SD or SDHC (Transcend) FAT32 mit 16K: format X: /FS:FAT32 /A:16K
"X" is the drive letter.

Barnel, just wanted to send thanks your way. I just got the Palm/TomTom Navigator 3, and was dismayed when it slowed to a crawl after copying it to my 2GB Sandisk Ultra II card. Reformatting with the above parameters brought it back to normal.
Before reformatting, it took 45-47 seconds after the initial TomTom startup splash screen for the license agreement screen to appear. After reformatting, it takes 5 seconds or less, and moving from screen to screen is near instantaneous.
I owe you one!
