Yes it is - so long as you have at least a 256MB SD card.

I had the very same question, and spoke with ALK who confirmed 100% compatibility.

NB You will probably not be able to use the Live or Traffic functions, but that is more to do with 'missing features' in the MIO rather than any incompatibility.

Sorry, but I don't know if anything is available to add the missing features.

Thanks Neil

I did realise that Live wasn't going to be an option, however, the Mio is a good piece of kit as it has a built in GPS receiver, so no need to have to plug an external one it.

Thanks again

For all I know, it may be possible to get an adapter, after all it is a SDIO Socket, so could be thoretically possible - I just can't find any details anywhere.

This is not an area of my expertese, but I do know that you still need SD card memory, so either the cards have to co-exist, or for the bluetooth card to have SD memory on board, because there is only one slot.

hmmm, looks like I will have to upgrade to a 256mb (or bigger) SD card as my current one is only 128mb.

SanDisk used to do a SD card with a wireless 802.11b adapter built in, but I haven't seen a bluetooth one so far, would be an interesting proposition though.

Thanks again Neil
