VARIO 2 & CO PILOT LIVE 6 MICRO SD CARD

[Guest SEESAWBOY]

I have recently purchased a Vario 2 on T-mobile that came with CoPilotLive 6. The memory card in the CoPliot box is a Mini SD card but the Vario 2 only has a slot for a micro card. Do CoPilot make an SD micro card? Is there a way to insert a Mini card into this device?

I suspect copying the contents of the CoPilot MiniSD card to a 3rd party MicoSD card will work. You will need a memory card reader that can read both types of card to do this.

It seems a bit weird that T-Mobile would provide the wrong type of card if you bought the Vario II and CoPilot as a bundle. I'd give customer services a call if I were you.

Copilot do only provide minisd. Buy a microsd card and Copilot on your pc will help you copy the quickstart files required into the device and the microSD card.

I found that copilot needs about 18mb on the card and the full UK maps take about 110 mb - so a 1gb card leaves plenty of space for music and pics etc.

Net result you dont need to swap cards to use copilot.

Spoke to T-mobile. They only supply Mini SD Cards. Spoke to Co-Pilot said I need to send them the SD Mini and they will swap it for the micro, when they receive it! Bit frustrating as that will take about a week I guess. I think JIMBOUK'S idea is the fastest, though annoying that I have to fork out for something that I should have got for free out of the box. Thanks for your advice.

It does seem a bit silly...but as you need a microSD card anyway...its well worth it. And having it on a 1gb microSD card means you dont need to cart a dedicated satnav card around and swap the cards to use satnav.
