 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?
 good, but not excellent February 22, 2008
I bought this item several weeks ago and now I think I can write some reviews for others.
First, this is a good GPS. Usually it can receive nine to ten satellites' signals. The maximum inaccuracy is usually within ten feet. The point of interest(POI) includes many places you may be interest in.
Second, it's as excellent as you may expect. That's because the system is easily down. Once every ten days, I think.
It is worth the price; however, if you are looking for a better one, go to Garmin, I think.
Takes You There February 11, 2008
Delivery was slow. Prompts slow sometimes (some directions are given right where you are supposed to turn and when you're driving the speed limit or busy traffic, you'll miss your turn or exit). But it recalculates and takes you back there after wasting 15 minutes at least. I would suggest to review the map before going to that destination and give yourself an extra 15 minutes more than what the gps calculates.
