 Great for the price November 11, 2008

For the price I paid, I think It's a bargain. It does a good job of navigating. The reason why I gave it a 4 star rating, is the fact that it does not come with it's own USB cable if you want to hook it up to your computer and charge it, or update it.I think you have to purchase it separately. I happened to have one at home that fit the port on the GPS. Also, It cannot locate the exact street of my home, so I have to save my home base as another street in the subdivision. Overall, it might not be the most detailed GPS, but it gets you where you need to go most of the time.
 Garbage - buy ANY TomTom instead November 6, 2008

TomTom is the absolute king of GPS, accept no substitution.
I tried this GPS and compared it to the TomToms I have tried, it was garbage.
The TomTom is worth it's weight in diamonds yet it only cost $150 at WalMart.
TomTom !!!! I'll never go on a trip without one!!!
 Great function. Low Cost! October 27, 2008

I have had my Mio Moov 200 for about 3 weeks now and find it to be quite easy to use; and more than I would have expected at such a bargain price! The device was easy to figure out and the MIO manufacturer website provides several easy to follow online video tutorials for the more "technically challenged" users out there. As with all devices, there is a bit of a learning curve.
For instance, one potential drawback is that if you are planning a LONG route with multiple stops, it's better to break it into shorter segments so that when/ if you miss a turn or encounter an unexpected road detour, your device does not take too long to recalculate the route (the more "waypoints" you have the longer the recalculating route takes). When you have just a handful of "waypoints" the route recalculation works rather quick.
Using the device in downtown Washington DC has been very helpful, especially with the fast recalculating time since many of the streets in DC have "irregular" rules, some one-way streets that the device did not recognize and special turning lanes where one is not permitted (or able) to turn from the main roadway.
A really helpful feature of the device is that it will indicate in voice and onscreen the upcoming turn and let you know when to merge/ stay right or left. This is especially helpful in unknown areas (such as in St. Louis, MO where I went recently for the 1st time - knowing what lane to be in ahead of time was immensely helpful!)
Every once in a while the device would "freeze," but a brief turn-off and back on of the device reset it. I like the auto-feature for day display to night and the POI's (Points of Interest). Although, one small complaint I have for the POI's is that it would be nice if you could select to view UPCOMING POI's on your route rather than simply the closest ones which can make you back-track somewhat.
Overall, the functionality for the price cannot be beat. It is easy to get up and running.
Cheaper, Works just as well October 16, 2008
I work for a TV station in a new area and needed to be able to find places I've never been fast. This was the best price I could find on a GPS that said the street names and so far it works great. No complaints.
 Mio Moov 200: Limited USB functionality October 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
While the 200 appears to be a reasonably nice
standalone GPS, MIO has chosen (for the US
market ONLY!?) to NOT allow you to maintain
a list of Favorites on your computer, then
upload them to the Mio 200. The included software
does NOT support creation and upload/download of Favorites.
Same with photos with lat/long info; you just can't do it.
Contacting MIO support about this issue yielded no
useful work-around or other alternative.
