Hi All,

I am a newby to GPS, I would like to buy my daughter who lives in Colorado a MIO 168,

Hope this is not a silly question but will it work in America ?

Looking forward to a reply

Greg

The simple answer is if you buy it in the UK chances are it will have UK or Europe mapping on it, they are available in the US, if i were you d give her the cash to buy one over there with the state maps she requires or you could buy one here and then she would have to purchase additional maps in the US and ive heard of compatability probs with S SD formats and UK ones

yeah, or maybe just order it online from a US site. from what i hear, the mio's are pretty nice. i know they use tele atlas, which are very good from my expereince.

i see, my mistake.

i've heard that navteq is better from some and that tele atlas is better than others. all i really have to go with is personal expereince. I've tried the tomtom gos and the garmin 320, and of those two, i preferred the tele atlas on the go.

let me know how things work out.
