 basic use good October 21, 2009
Fang Zheng
I bought it in Aug 2007, given the 2 years use I put on it, I have to admit it did work good for the past two years. The software system never break as to entirely collapse (when it hangs up processing, all you have to do is reset it), I would say it's robust to the use I put on it.
There are times when over half a year I just drove locally to places I knew well-- the fact that I put it idle for half a year didn't do much harm at all. I can just use it with charger on and it's good to go.
Now I really have to complain about the outdated map, there are so many times I end up in at end of a road, realizing the GPS map is totally out of sync with the reality. This happened both at urban setting and rural area. I remember driving to Cleveland Museum of Art in Oct of 2008, this little GPS lead me to a creepy area in Cleveland that is far away from Case campus. I was so agonized lost in that place. I could not understand-- the museum is there for about a century, and why the GPS can't even find a place like this??
Other occasions including once driving in Amish country little town, it directed me driving all the way (2 miles) along one major road, then told me turn back at the intersection. It was a joke not cool. I could have used any of the intersection I came across to do the drive back, why so long a expedition???
The website has absolutely no renew/map support for it, which makes the situation all the more hopeless ( my friend jail break his to update, but it doesn't help much... )
When the rating ask for individual ratings for 'ease of use' I have to say it's better than an LG GPS that I drove with, but it's not as good as a Garmin I tested.
For 'features'-- there's nothing fancy about it, it's really basic use. There's no fancy stuff as to multi-language sound support (and honestly I don't need to know the direction in 90 languages). But I find it would be nice if it could be used with google earth ( google earth now support work with Garmin etcetera)-- that will be a major expansion. But again, I could not be so impractical to expect a two year old machine being so much ahead of time.
For 'sound quality'-- I always seat in the front, either driving or front passenger-- and there's no problem at all for me to hear it. My hearing is just normal, so I didn't hunt if there's volume control feature.
 it gets you there... September 3, 2009
Jose Luis Rocha (Salinas, CA)
I got this about four years ago. I'm not a big traveler... probably travel fives a year the most. This is a very reliable, cheap, not to costly Navigation system. It gets the job done... It's not the best GPS. But if you want a GPS for a few trips here and there, that you're only going to use once in a while, this is the one for you.
 Unit can not be updated. March 20, 2009
Mainspring (Texas)
Purchased this unit with the understanding that map updates were to come very soon. However, there are no map updates available. This unit is a complete waste of money. Roads change often and Mio does not update the maps.... Very low volume on this unit and it does not have text to speech feature. It has some nice features but, outdated maps right out of the box. Now I am stuck with this useless GPS. I got it at PepBoys and now they tell me they didn't sell the unit....
No Updates March 17, 2009
Michael J. Fairbanks
I contacted Mio the first day I received this as a present in 2007. I still have the problem number and it, is still on there website when I log in. No updates for the maps. Every time I drive home from work it wants me to go down a dead end street. Then it thinks every road is dirt and will not take me down the shortest route.
I contacted them on there website, called and e-mailed and no help? I will never purchase a Mio again.
In the trash! January 26, 2009
Smg (Florida)
After fighting with this GPS for just over a year I threw it out with the trash tonight & just ordered a Megellan Maestro 4250 that my husband has & is quite happy with (& knew better than to trade mine for!). The Mio has never been reliable -- from shutting down for no apparent reason, to requiring me to enter the same destination over and over before it calculates a route, to continually losing its signal, to not recognizing its own map card -- and was not worth a penny of what I paid for it. My advice: spend a little extra money to save yourself a ton of frustration!
