 Lousy piece of Equipment May 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The worst equipment you could ever buy.
Firstly, it didn't come with any navigation software. I imagine some versions may come but mine didn't. After that, Mio gives you no support to buy a software.
Battery life is just about negligible. Every time I wanted to use it, it was dead, even without having it on with the GPS function.
When I finally got a navigation software, it is so slow, it tells you to turn after the corners. It constantly is looking for its position and never catches up with your driving. Only good for walking.
As a Grand Finalle, it froze completely and never goes beyond the splash-screen. Hundreds of discussion groups on the Internet tell you what to do but seems that nobody can get theirs to go again.
In summary: never used it for anything good!!!
 No driver for windows vista February 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The GPS is helpful, but at this point is the only way I can use the product. The company has not made a driver for windows vista and when I was forced to buy a new computer when my computer crashed I got a windows vista computer. I spent alot of money on textbooks for work to download on the ppc and I can no longer use them because of the incompatibility with my computer. I tried to contact the company regarding this problem, but they don't seem to care.
 P550 Review December 24, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I did some research on this product before hand and I've been using it for a couple of months now. This product does exactly as it says it will do. The wireless works great. My kid likes to play the games on it. The gps works well, the unit starts up and loads quickly. ok to the cons..
The gps sometimes takes 5 mins to find the gps which is kinda long when your waiting on it. But once locked it rarily lost signal, and if it did it would only be for a second. It says it has 11 million POIs. I found it didnt see streets or businesses that were built in the last couple years and I didnt see any way to update them. If I could go back, I would of still bought it. I am very happy with it. I put it in my cupholder, and slide it under the seat when not using.
DO NOT BUY December 9, 2007

Very poor Battery life. But worst of all is the tech support there are no vista drivers for this. emailed tech support they me to change my OS to XP. then I called tech support and was told they aren't going to put a driver out, because the unit was built before vista came out. Also, it's very hard to use the gps in progams other than Miomap. The PDA/GPS is a great idea but this is the wrong one to buy.
 Excellent December 8, 2007
This is a very good product, the WiFi is fast, The map program is good, I like the color detail of the maps. I also own the Mio 520 so I have read the map software manual from cover to cover, that is the key because you will not know the full advantages of the program unless you do so. And I have added programs that I need to make it a better PDA. Good construction no problems. Fast processor that is also important. I have TeleAtlas and NavTec Gps devices and they both have their share of missing streets .
