This GPS is not the flashiest but it will do what you need. I uploaded software from GPS club website and now have windows media player, word pad, mp3 player and other neat software on this 130 dollar GPS. It came with 1GB of US maps, I wiped out all but 3 maps for my area of America and then loaded up some songs and an AVI movie that i "got" off the internet or use it as a 1 gb storage device. I can watch movies or listen to music or find my way. not too many units will do this for 130 bucks.
 Nice hardware, but Mio won't sell you maps of other countries March 19, 2008

I have grown to like this little unit quite a bit, but I have discovered that I made a bad assumption when I bought it. When I saw that the maps were on SD cards, I figured I would just be able to buy maps for other regions when I needed them. Not so, it turns out. I actually called Mio tech support to see where I could buy a map of Canada for my next trip to Toronto, and I was told that "foreign" maps won't work in the US units. The telephone rep had been pretty polite up to that point, but when I said I certainly wouldn't buy a a Mio in the future, because they aren't much use to folks who need to travel to Canada, she got kind of snippy. She said "Well, that's your choice," and then added "You can buy a separate Mio Canadian unit."
Yeah... or I could just buy a GPS that lets me install new maps.
Steer clear of this one folks. It's not worth the "savings."
 Mio C220 3.5 inch portable GPS March 17, 2008
This GPS unit works great ! It is the first one I ever owned, so I can't compare it to any other units. It's a lot of bang for the buck. It take some time to figure out all the features and functions. It does not come with instruction manual, but you can download or print it on line. I have used it a few time and it took me right where I wanted to be. The battery lasts about 4 hours. I keep it plugged in while I am in my car. If you want a unit that you can download photos and music into, this is not the one for you. But if you want a basic GPS unit without all the extra bells and whistles, this is the one to buy. I'm glad I did.
 Support/Warranty Horrible March 10, 2008
Mio C220 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
Got the system for holiday present, thought initially it was affordable and had most of the features I wanted. HOWEVER, the touch screen was not responding and I pushed the section of the screen a little harder and the whole face of the screen cracked. I am on with tech support who may charge me to replace or fix the unit. Completely NOT what the warranty read. Great, cheap unit but they don't back it up if normal customer use presents a problem. Another $130 dollars out the window!
Don't throw away your paper maps! March 1, 2008
I bought this in July 2007 for a trip from Wisconsin west to Yellowstone and Glacier. It failed to do its primary job - consistently getting us to where we wanted to go. Sometimes it did and sometimes it didn't. There were times when we chose a listed POI, saw signs to it, and followed the signs instead of the Mio, which was telling us to go somewhere else. When we got to the POI, the Mio still didn't know it, and kept telling us to go elsewhere. This was not an isolated incident, and I've had similar problems in Wisconsin. I haven't tried to use it for the past few months. I can understand it taking you on a less efficient route occasionally, but if you can't be sure you'll really end up where you want to go, what good is it?
