What Customers Say About Mio c230 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator:

This unit comes with 2005 maps from the manufacturer and MIO does not have map updates for this unit. Do NOT purchase this device if you intend to drive on any road that has been built since 2005. We recently went through South Carolina and the unit thought we were driving through fields when my atlas from Walmart had the roads on it.

The possibility to add speed cams or red light cams is perfect for me. It's fast, you don't need to wait for satellite detection or for route recalculation. You only need to upgrade the software and the maps, because they are a little old - you're missing POIs and new roads. Also the capacity to read roads names is usefully. Highly recommend it.

2) This unit picks some of the most unreasonable routes to your destination. 4) When you decide to go off-route and take a different way to your destination, it insists you do a u-turn and get back on the original route much more frequently then re-routing your trip. This is VERY frustrating when you're driving down a busy interstate and your exit is less then a half-mile away. A few of the more annoying points that led to the return: 1) This unit will sporadically "reboot" while in-use. I bought this GPS based on the price and a couple positive reviews. All in all, I'd say invest a little more for a better-known brand. There are two or three within 10 miles. It couldn't locate a Wal-Mart or Target withing 30 miles of my house.

I found that after using it for about three-days in my car, I knew what I was doing and could use the different features without a problem. I would not depend on this GPS in an unfamiliar area. After two weeks of use, it went back to the seller. (see #2 as to why this is gets old fast) I'd agree with other reviewers who said the interface is somewhat confusing to navigate. Luckily, I knew where I was going. 3) The points of interest database is EXTREMELY limited. When it did pick a good route, it didn't always get me to the precise address, but it always got me close enough to find it. I wish I would have.

There are some favorite places saved in it you don't even need to know the address e.g. Mio c 230 GPS Navigator is the excellent product that I am using. airports. It's easy to find out the direction while you are planning to go somewhere as long as you have the address. Some features I haven't used it even. I don't have to worry about going to Mapquest to get the direction and print out. Mio is good enough.Mohammed

So then I have to set the time zone to Eastern Europe.5.The compass is completely wrong, when I am traveling east, it says I'm going west. 1.Screen goes black 3 to 4 times a day and then it displays "FATAL ERROR" it then takes about 25 seconds for it to reboot and recalculate.2.Its accuracy is 950 feet. All Garmin models are accurate to 35 feet.3.The turn-by-turn voice stutters. but every night at nine o'clock Bolivia's time zone goes forward three hours. But in the millions of points of interest it says it has It cannot search for the following; Wal-Mart, K-mart, Gold's Gym, YMCA, Giant, Food Lion, Bloom, Chipotle, Ace Hardware, Quantico Marine Base, Rayburn building, Cannon Building, Longworth building, Verizon center, Verizon stores, VER, KFC, and target.8.Finally the stupid thing takes over three minutes to pick up satellites. She cant spit out a street name.4.The time zones don't make any sense at all.

And while its charging it constantly tells me that my battery is low.7.I liked the POI feature a lot on this gadget. When I miss a turn I travel 950 feet before the GPS realizes I have missed the turn. Whenever I'm traveling west, it says im going south, and whenever I'm traveling north it says I'm traveling west.6.When I turn it off and leave it off for more than a week the battery runs out and I have to let it charge. Apparently my time zone is in Bolivia. (when I live in D.C). That is the main reason why I bought it.

Even when I am out in the middle of an open field.
