That links to a review. Other links using that as a search term lead to
what seem to be the same review, which appears to be a manufacturer's
press release.

Following the clues to the manufacturer's website doen not show them to
be admitting to making a 2GB SDHC card. It's probable the review was for
a prototype which hasn't made it to market.

Shows a picture of the card in question, clearly marked as SD, not SDHC.

Thanks your your advice. I picked one up at Argos.

I tried to install it using tomtom HOME but this was unsuccessful. It
seemed to work but at the end said there was no map installed. The
instructions were less than helpful telling me to make a back-up with
the SD card removed (when tomtom ONE does not work without the card).

In the end I just reformatted the new SD card and copied across all
the files using the computer. (I know you need to include hidden
files but my computer was already set up to do that.) So mission
successfully accomplished.
