1I threw mine out!Jan 17, 2010
There are very few products that I have bought that have failed on as many levels as the Mio. Just the other day, after getting me hopelessly lost - again, and causing a 35 minute trip to take 2 hours - again. I finally threw the thing on the ground and stomped that baby to pieces.
The biggest issue I had with the thing is that when you put in a new address, 20% to 25% of the time it would take you to a different address that it had in its history. At first, I was unaware of this because I was new in town and did not know my way around. So I started clearing all my history before putting in a new location and this worked - sometimes.
There were a few critical times when it took me way out of my way and twice it took me home instead of to the address I entered. It cam to the point where I could no longer rely on the thing and I came to hate using it. Finally, the other night I was caught in traffic and thought well I'll just use the Mio to take side roads. After numerous "recalculatings" and several left and right turns I was lost and I had no idea where the thing was taking me. I ended up having to call for directions and that was it. I am buying a Garmin Nuvi today.
DON'T BUY A MIO.



4good gps unitDec 27, 2009
I had this unit for two years now. It works great with voice turn by turn instructions and quick response. touch screen works great. only problem with the unit is the slow initial connection to get a signal, but that's a small problem.

3Crashes a lotDec 17, 2009
I bought this because me and my wife were used to the C220 model which worked great for over 3 years until it died few months ago.

Everything is good in this low cost (mine was $80) GPS, it's even hackable and you can replace the existing 900k POI with 12 million; except that it crashes a lot. some people say it's because of too many recalc, some say the heating problem. whatever it is, you don't want your GPS restarting (which takes about 10-20 seconds) in the middle of your trip. Mine restarts on average once every 10 min. Taking out 1 star for that.

Windshield mount is not stable enough and always comes out on highways or rough roads. Taking out 1 star for that.

Another thing is that it never uses the words north/south/east/west while mentioning the interstates, it always says TOWARDS bla bla bla. and sometimes uses wierd uncommon highway names, e.g. for I-90 it says "Massachsette Pike".

On plus side it works the way it is expected to, volume level, brightness is improved from the C220. recalc are fast, catching first satellite signal is is fast enough. One thing i like is that i can use the it's car charger to charge my blackberry.

4Good Value For The PriceDec 11, 2009
I purchased this model of Mio last year for more money. It has held up well. It has many of the features of more expensive gps's. It is simple to use and gets the job done. i purchased this one as a gift for my wife. My only complaint is that battery life is not so great.

2Stay away from Mio C230.Nov 06, 2009
This thing is a piece of garbage. I've considered throwing mine out the window twice because it's caused me so much frustration. I'm not saying that it can't get you on the right track if you're lost, but it usually takes the longest route to get you where you need to go, it doesn't give you ample notice before you need to turn, and it's pretty hard to get the map looking the way you want it to. This thing really is not worth it. I decided to write this review after, for the second time, I input the address, got stuck in traffic for forty five minutes, only to realize that the thing was not taking me to the address I input. Obviously, it could have been my pressing the wrong button (or area of the screen, rather, since it's touch-screen), but I would say that's unlikely because I'm a relatively tech-savvy guy. This thing is simply and plainly user-unfriendly.If this is all you can afford, I'd say save some more money and in the meantime print directions from Google maps, which are usually very good.
