IF it had Text to Speech, it would be the ideal GPS. Must say, Mio has a hard time working on the Big Island of Hawaii. Simple to use and has the MP3 to use while running in the wind.
Gave one to my girlfriend and kept one. I bought another one for me. Bought 2 on Black Friday just for the toy affect.
The GPS is well worth the money. I say buy it. Then along came my gear-jamming daughter with her Atlas.
Yep, mine went with her.
It works great, but unfortunately I didn't get the DVD and the original box, as described in product ad. I've got the product.
Last but not least, I put a 4 GB memory stick with MP3s on it and it does not allow sorting by folder. UNBELIEVABLE. You get what you pay for they say: With the Mio C310x that is what you get. so you are stuck scrolling through 1000 songs. SO BAD.I give it 1 star - it works somewhat ok clumsy menus and the issue many are talking about: The voice is off by 100 yards which is not only confusing but DANGEROUS when driving because you constantly have to compare the voice to the display. The maps are from a European based company and are not as up to date as Navteq.
All in all, it's a great product that I would recommend. It allows you to set wave points. Though I don't care much for the mount because it's bulky and it has limited freedom to move it. I like this GPS because it has all the features I need. Cold Eyes It's really compact, very portable, can play music through the SD card slot. Its maps are upgradable at a reasonable price. All the maps are in its own memory (1 gig internal).
The random mode doesn't seem to be too random, it picks the same songs everytime unless you add or delete some songs.wierd but not terrible. The mp3 player is nice and works fine with or without headphones. I use it at work (I don't have an IPod or anything else)and can charge it on the computer using the USB cord when I step away. 2/26/08The price was the defining factor for me, I wasn't expecting anything amazing because it was so cheap but it came in handy many times. Overall, great for the money,most navigation systems don't even offer the added mp3 player so that counts for something. The options of color scheme and views are good. The accuracy is off by maybe a house or 2 in some cases but no biggie. It took me a little bit to figure out how to work the map but I didn't read the manual so what can I expect.
