Don't waste your money!Jun 13, 2010
I bought this GPS unit December 2007 because it was on sale at Radio Shack and I was beginning a new job that require a lot of driving. I kept the unit because it was okay for a beginner for the first several months, then I started to realize all the problems...

1. There is a calibrating screen that comes on quite often and I would sit and tap the little crosshair repeatedly as it moved around the screen over and over. If the battery dies (see 4) you have to calibrate all over again.

2. The maps were extremely outdated and there are NO UPDATES online that I can find from the product website. You have to buy an update CD for $60 according to the FAQ.

3. I have not been able to find a way to use it outside of the United States. It seems only US maps are available.

4. The battery is junk. From the day I bought it the battery lasted 15 minutes tops. Now I can't unplug the unit at all from a power source or the battery will go dead. When I first bought this I had no reason to use it unplugged, but as time went on (when the weather got warmer) I wanted to take it into my office and plot locations on it from there instead of sitting in the hot car, but the battery would die.

5. Make sure you don't leave it in your car, even in the glove box, and warm up your car inside during cold weather before you bring the unit out to it; the GPS doesn't like the cold and the screen won't work at all after several exposures to cold weather.

Use your money on a better brand name that you can update as needed online and that won't completely die on you after only a year or two. There are much better units out there than this one for a better price.

Mio does not support the C230May 20, 2010
This product seemed like a winner when I went to buy it... Spoken street names are nice.... However, there are a few issues to consider about this product and Mio as a company:

- Mio never came out with a map update for the c230. To me this is unacceptable! My device is now wrong more than it is right. When I called Mio, they stated that they did come out with a map update but there were bugs so they had to pull it back and said that they would not provide any updates and I should upgrade to a newer model. HELLO!! Why would I spend more money on your products if you did not support the first one I bought. They did offer me an upgrade price on a new model but the upgrade price was more expensive than a higher end Mio model I saw on sale at Radio Shack... Get it together Mio and support the customers that support you!!!

- The device randomly switches between my selected view i.e the street view (direction I am traveling) to a map view were I can see no street names etc...

- Touch screen buttons are to small to be useful while driving... YOu would need to pull over to make any changes to your route etc...

Overall, there are some good feature but I cannot recommend either the c230 or the company based upon my experience with them and the product.

great unit 4 the priceMar 20, 2010
so far, I am pleased with my gps. It was shipped quickly, and in perfect condition.

I 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.

good 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.
