 Great ! July 4, 2008
Excellant product.. very reliable. will definately take u to the destination even if u r lost somewhere. can trust it completely.Recalculates preet fast.
Drawbacks: Volumne is low. If u are listening to music or windows are open; u can barely hear what GPS says. It doesn't speak out street name where u wanna take turn or exit, so in the beginning things might be difficult. It discharges preety fast, hence need to keep it charging while driving.
Comes up short June 3, 2008
This is a nicely made unit and works fairly well. I found that it was not very intuitive to use. It also did not follow deviations from the route very well. At times instead of recalculating the route it just keeps trying to get you back to where you left the route. I had to turn it over to my 10 year old granddaughter to figure it out. She caught on fairly quick but Grandpa was a bit slow to pick it up.
 very convenient but not perfect May 13, 2008
I bought my Mio about 6 months ago. It's a great little gps overall. My only complaint is that it can take FOREVER to find a satellite signal. By forever, I mean, on a bad day, 3 to 5 minutes. On a good day, less than a minute. I'm not sure what causes the delay - doesn't seem to be weather, terrain, or buildings. I love that there is no service to purchase but once you have the map, it's not going to get updated on its own. Since San Antonio is growing at an unbelievable pace, I have had quite a few unknown addresses pop up on me but I'm a Realtor so I guess I'll probably have that problem more than average. As far as how user friendly it is - it's great. Very easy to program, and it's got a lot of different options on how to view your map. Best of all, it's portable which means if you find yourself in a strange city, you can carry it around with you. (If you do this, keep in mind that it only works when you're moving - so if you stop, it's going to lose you! This also applies to geocaching for those of you who know what that is.) It also came in handy when we went to Puerto Rico last fall!
Overall this is a great gps and I would recommend it.

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 by 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."
