Global sat make a unit that will fit in the SD slot, but the SD slot must suport SDIO profile in order for it to work, check that out before spending any cash, you will obviously loose and SD card memory using one of these. Finally they look fragile to say the very least, the small SD card bit with a bulky unit "Hanging" out of it - it just doesn't look right - Mike |

Sorry - should have read through that properly - never seen a bluetooth SD addapter, and I would reckon you would need additional software to get it to work - Mike |

humber, I've also got the e750 wifi but with bluetooth CF card:
Belkin Bluetooth PDA and PC adapter combo card
Bluetooth GPS device (Sysoncip Smart Blue Mini)
TomTom Navigator 5 and Destinator PN
Glad to say this setup works great.
I know that there are BT SD cards (for example this one) but don't know if it works fine with the GPS units and satnav software (although why wouldn't it?). Also you will have to store your maps somewhere and most people use SD cards, which leaves the CF slot free for a BT adapter. _________________ Toshiba e750 wifi + Belkin Bluetooth CF card
