This means it is not reading the SD card and that it needs to be re-formatted.

This is best done in a card reader and not the tomtom itself.
Right click on it and select format select FAT32 as the files system
??
Now connect the tomtom but don't let tomtom home run. exit TTH if need be.
??
You now ned to select your tom tom which will also show as a drive.
??
In windows explorer select tools then folder options. Click view and tick the box for "show hidden files and folders"
It may warn you but you can ignore it.
??
Then just copy ALL the files from the tom tom to your sd card
??
DO NOT USE CUT AND PASTE !
??
Once all the files are on switch off the tom tom and insert the sd card
??
It should now work

I bought the europe sd card. If I insert it will I lose all the US data?

No, the US data is on the unit itself. Adding an SD card with maps only increases the number of maps your unit can handle, it doesn't replace existing maps. You'll have to go into settings to change the view to European maps.

Basic screen when turned on...can't do anything else.

You will need to do a soft reset here are the instructions:

To reset your TomTom device, do the following:
  1. Check that the battery is charged properly.
    Charge your device for at least 2 hours before trying to turn it on again. Make sure the charging light on your device is on.

  2. Remove the SD card
    If your device uses an SD card, remove it.

  3. Reset your device.
    Use a straightened paper clip, or something similar, to push the reset button for 15 seconds. See the pictures below for where to find the reset button.

  4. Turn your device on.
    Press the On/off button for at least 5 seconds.

  5. Insert the SD card
    If your device uses an SD card, insert the SD card.

The lock sign is stuck on the screen of our explorer 1 and the navigation feature wont work. radio shack said it needed a seperate card to operate. is this true or is there something else?

After resetting the unit 30-30 (Press the Reset button with the Power on for 30 seconds and keeping the button pressed Turn the Power OFF for 30 seconds) with the mapping SD card out of the system, it should then take the information from the SD card correctly. Recommend using updateable iGO or AMIGO program in the unit.. Works Great..

Touch screen does not respond

Step 1. Turn your Nuvi unit off, remove any SD cards from the SD card slot and make sure that the unit is not plugged into any computer.
Step 2. Place a fingertip on the upper left hand corner of the touch screen and keep it there while turning the unit on, a prompt should read " Do you really want to start in maintenance mode?"
Step 3. Select the yes button.
Step 4. Enter your PIN if enabled.
Step 5. Main Maintenance Mode screen should have 4 selections:
System information
View Diagnostics
Clear User data
Clear Waypoints
Step 6. After some selections the unit should reboot and you check to verify unit after rebooting.

WHAT IS SD CARD FOR??

Hello TRICOUNTY,

Your Garmin GPS has an SD card slot. You can use this slot to insert a removeable SD memory card into the unit SD memory cards for used for storage by many portable devices. The most common useage for the GPS is to view pictures taken by a digital camera (which also uses an SD card) with the GPS's picture viewer function.

I am not sure what the ads you are referring to are. Where are you seeing the ads? On the GPS screen? After inserting a SD card into the GPS?

Best Regards,
Ken

TomTom ONE

The current Tom Toms do NOT come with SD cards any longer. After December of last year, they began to preload the map information directly into the unit. If you had purchased a unit that needed an SD card, the main screen would be an animation of the card being put in the unit to "remind" you to insert the card. You may have a battery issue. How have you been charging the unit?
