 Exciting January 22, 2008
I must say that I was very excited when I received this GPS for Christmas. It is small enough to fit in the palm of the hand. The thing I like most of all is that if you make a wrong turn, the GPS turns you right back on course. I love my GPS for now until I move up in the world of GPS.
 Great Product. January 19, 2008
After reviewing various GPS units this product had the best rating, so I decided to purchase for my wife for Christmas. The lived up to all the reviews and is very easy to use and easy to install.
After reading the quick start guide the unit was installed and operational in 5 to 10 minutes.
We would recommend this Product.
a bargain January 18, 2008
The Mioc230 is easy to use and is quite a bargain when compared to other brands of similar features. I'm glad I bought it. I suggest a thorough search for the least price.

We live in the City of Seattle. Enter the "points of interest" page any look for a grocery store and the closest one that pops up is up in Marysville, WA. 35 miles away. The only full and accurate database I found was hospitals.
Additionally, Canada is not included; as we are 2.5 hours from the border, this was a no go.
Also, user interface was clumsy and difficult to use for my non-techy wife.
We returned it.
 You get what you pay for.... January 14, 2008

After using the Mio C230 for about a month I can honestly say you get what you pay for. The C230 is nice little GPS, nothing fancy. The text to speech is very nice for this price range and helps a lot. It's accurate, and the route recalculations are pretty quick and accurate if you've missed a turn.
The biggest drawback is the Points of Interest (POI). At about 1 million it falls far short of the POI provided by other services. I actually find myself surprised when it has a restaurant or service I want. It also could use an update to some of it's maps. Some smaller back roads do not appear in the database. This can be very frustrating when trying to type in an address for a road that Mio does not think is there. When this happens I tend to use the cross street function which works pretty well as a work around.
Setup was easy and it take about 2-3 minutes to find us from a cold start. At $160, it's a decent GPS but if I had it to do all over again I might spend another $100-150 and get one that has more info in it's database...
