 Not poor support, non-existent support December 24, 2007

I bought three of these, one for each of my parents and one for myself. It is a disposable unit because they do not offer map updates like other companies. As time passes, it becomes less and less useful. I could write about the pretty good UI and hardware, but the fact it is a throw-away unit makes all of that pale in usefulness.
I would have bought one for the other car, but the lack of map updates made me get a Garmin.
 From mediocre to bad December 17, 2007

I bought this a year ago. I never did like the way it would route me to some places. Then they offered a software and map update and I jumped at the opportunity...only to find out that it made things worse. Now a four lane road in my area is off limits. There is no way to get it to take the route I want (even when I tell it to take dirt roads) and the stupid thing routes me 4 miles out of the way because sees the road as inaccessible. More than once when trying to get out of an unfamiliar neighborhood it told me that roads went through to a main road and they were really dead ends. Good luck trying to tell it not to use a dead end road. Good luck trying to get a map updated. Also, after a year the battery won't hold a charge for more that 30 seconds. The MP3 player has a loud hum that makes it impossible to use a FM transmitter and play through the car radio. The only use the SD memory chip has is to play MP3s.
 Reliable, easy to use, great price! December 17, 2007

This is the second c310x I have purchased. The first was for me - the second was a gift for my brother.
The unit is light, quick, and feature packed. The graphics are clean and crisp - with smooth scrolling.
Although the styling may be a little less sexy than other GPS units - it isn't ugly by any means.
Battery life is around 2 hours - but the unit is only used in the car so it's not an issue for me.
If a few extra dollars are available opt for the next model up, which is very sleek and also has bluetooth.
map update December 4, 2007

Whatever you do, do not purchase the Mio Map Update on their website. It will cost you $69.99. You can purchase the exact same map update at Circuit City for $17.99 two days ago. I did just that. I then called Mio Customer Service and spoke with a representative that said he did not know why the price differential but that it was the exact same map update and they recommend customers to purchase from Circuit City.

I have owned this unit for a little over a year and have done some extensive traveling with it.
Pros - auto switch between day & night modes is awesome - tough to go back after having it.
Battery life is good & cordless option is great.
Cons - The mapping software is terrible! If you have any idea where you are going it will drive you nuts! If staying on the highway one more exit will save you time it does not recognize it. The directions it takes from my home to office are almost 20 minutes longer! Having said that, if you don't know where you are going it will get you there just the same!
Overall it is not a bad option & way better than a car load of maps. I just upgraded to a TomTom One & love it. The mapping is far more accurate but it takes navigating through several menus to switch the screen to night mode.
