Excellent Product and Price. Fast Shipping. A happy customer who will be shopping at Amazon !!! Thanks.
 Not bad, for the price October 9, 2007
This relatively inexpensive portable GPS navigator performs pretty well for the most part. I use it in the Los Angeles area, although I recently took it down to San Diego, where it performed very well in getting me to my destination. It sometimes takes a minute or two to find the GPS signal when first "firing it up," but works well once it does. I noticed that diamond lanes sometimes confuse it. Rarely, it makes an outright error as far as turning left or right. As other reviewers note, it does not voice the name of the streets, only the directions, but one has to spend a lot more to get this feature. Like computers, there is no doubt that better ones will appear on the market at comparatively lower prices; but for the time being, I can honestly say that I am satisfied with this device (which I nick-named "Max."
 Relatively inexpensive for a reason October 8, 2007

This may have been the first GPS that is priced cheaply enough that pretty much everyone can afford to have a GPS in their car. Note I didn't say a "good" GPS because the unit I had bought kept losing satellite signal in the middle of Seattle. I would ignore the directions and would take what I knew surely to be a shortcut and the GPS would be completely oblivious for a FEW minutes! It got to be so useless that I didn't keep it for more than 3 days. Back it went to the store.
Mio has brought back the old dictum that I thought no longer applied to commoditized technology, namely, you get what you pay for!

Mio C310x user review October 5, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I will just mention problems I experienced during my trip from Philadelphia to LA.
Some of the roads are not real and recent road information is missing.
- I lost my way in Birmingham, Alabama to find 78 from I-20. Mio C310x directed a road that is not exist.
- The new road from Birmingham, Alabama to Memphis (future I-22?)is not updated yet. It mis-directed several times.
- Often the map shows a left turn sign but the voice directs right turn. This was found when I was changing from I-15 to I-10 (LA).
And, the most serious problem was when I missed the direction indicated by the map. Automatic re-directions always guided the original route even after passing quite a lot (go back or turn back). Finding alternative new routes were serious problems.
Overall, Mio C310x looks fine for finding final destinations, but one should be careful when driving unfamiliar area. Recommend to have Google Maps directions too.
