 Great Features but Poor Routing May 31, 2007
10 out of 17 found this review helpful
I tried C520 for a week around Houston and found the routing to be poor. Instead of keeping me on 59 Frwy for 17 miles straight, it was routing me off and on this freeway and around downtown unnecessarily. On one stretch it kept asking me to take the ramp to get on 59N while I was already on it. Maybe it thought the old (2+ years) construction detours were still there. I returned this (C City with 15% restock penalty) and got a Garmin Nuvi 350 which worked perfect on the same routes.
Other features on C520 were superb - good user interface, clear large display with a lot of useful information, clear voice instructions. But it failed in its primary function to provide accurate navigation.
 Best GPS unit for the money May 24, 2007

The Mio c520 GPS unit is the full featured unit at a reasonable price. Compare this unit to the Garmin Nuvi 660, and the Mio is by far a better unit for half the price. The C520 comes with updated 2007 maps, which are very accurate. Routing is great, and Mio has increased the number of POI's to 6 million compared to the 3.5 million on the c310x. The 4.3 inch screen is great. The bluetooth function works well, and it has the ability to dial numbers from the POI database as well as from the phonebook feature. If you make the call private, it has a feature to send the call to the handset. Routing is much better than in my c310x, and the text to speech with street names is a nice feature. While not perfect, the digital voice pronounces street names pretty good. I noticed one reader asked about the brightness of the screen, it is not as vivid as the 310x, but is more than adequate (about the same as the Nuvi 660). I checked out several other GPS units before buying the MIO, and found none that compared with the exception of the Nuvi 660, which sells for $799 compared to the Mio at $399. That alone made it a no brainer.

I have owned many GPS units over the years and the Mio C520 is the best by far when comparing features to value. The Bluetooth works very well and the Test To Speech, New to this unit, works good. I used to have a Mio C310X and the maps and routing are much better on this unit. I also love the widescreen display. All in all the Mio C520 can't be beat and right now you can find it for less than $350.
