it is very easy to find addresses and add via or continue points to your route, you can zoom in and move around the map without having to change screens. this is really valuable when you need to look around your area quickly and then go back to navigating. it is flat and fits in your shirt pocket. it has a easy to find usb charging port and uses easy to find usb chargers. i use this one in my commercial truck because it is rugged enough to stand the bouncing and vibrations. My first one lasted over three years and the usb port broke when I yanked the cord by accident. this is my second one. I also have 6 other gps units including a $500 garmin. I still think this unit is the best for the money.
Note that my "Good" rating is for a 'entry level' device. Works well in general, does what is supposed to do, and will take you there, sooner or later, but it will do. Here my pros: 1) price: almost unbeatable for the features 2) display is very good, even though it's just 3.5 in 3) will take you there :D After a while using it (about 2 years 2007-2009) these are my complaints: 1) not sure if it can be updated with new maps (right, you can google it ;-) and find out what is in fact out there 2) when it powers off for good, when the battery drains, you have to reset the clock and calendar: very annoying 3) POI are hard to figure out... enough said: I don't use them 4) Very limited computer connection, in fact, just the bare minimum for a "reset to factory setup" 5) some settings are convoluted to reach or figure out, but in general, it's ok If you are tech geek, look elsewhere. Would I recommend it ? Probably for a price conscious person, yes.Read full review
Decent GPS for a beginner. Has most features that anyone would ever need in a GPS. Navigates perfectly and QUICKLY finds GPS signal. Overall: 4/5 Display: 4/5 - Not as pretty as newer GPS systems Features: 3/5 - Lacks a few features like the ability to show Max Speed Ease of use: 3/5 - Slightly difficult to navigate through the screens and limits you on occasion when typing in an address. Overall Value: 5/5 - For the price you can't beat it. If you pay over $20-$30 for this you're paying too much.
I like this gps. Works great. I had a Magellan RoadMate before. Got this one for my 88 year old aunt. But she preferred the Magellan RoadMate. But for me, it's fine. A little harder to use,imo, than the Magellan RoadMate. But once you get used to it, no problem. It has a male voice, which was different. Not quite as quick to correct as the Magellan RoadMate, but it does well. Bottom line, if you can get this for under $25 go for it. You won't regret it!
When I decided to get a gps i needed a "no B.S." kind of device that is easy for this technically challenged guy to get along with. The Mio fits the bill quite nicely. I do wish that since it was a "new in the box" item it would have had a little more recent software included with it. I am a firm believer in "ya get what ya pay for" and I didn't pay much for it & it has already saved my but during a recent visit to Cincinnati, lost on a detour it found the easiest route to get me back home and that's exactly why I purchased it. So I'm a happy guy. If you're looking for a gps to get you from point a to point b this is what you need, if you want a fancy device to impress other technoids look somewhere else.
