I have another brand that was older and a map update was needed. However this unit was on sale and I just thought I would get a new unit with updated maps for just a little more than the update map would be for the older unit. However, the C220 had an older map than the older unit that I had. I tried to get updated maps from Mio and they are not available. After calling Mio, I have been told that I have an older unit (???) and they don't have updated maps for it. In other words, the map it came with is the only map they have. They are not providing any updated maps now or in the future. I now have a unit that can not be updated and that means I have useless GPS. The volume is not loud enough on this unit either. Even at it's loudest setting, it is not loud enough to be heard while driving in most conditions. I would not recommend this unit to anyone. If you have $100 plus buck to waste, then it might make a good toy for you child... Purchased this unit because I though it would be a good unit.

I had left it in my car overnight and when I tried to activate it the next morning the screen cracked. I continued to try to activate it without success and the screen cracked even further. MIO refused to honor their warranty claiming the unit was mishandled. Since the unit was working before I left it in the car overnight, it seems the GPS might have been faulty rather than mishandled. Buyers beware. The MIO product is obviously inferior and their warranty has little or no value. By the way, MIO did offer to repair the GPS for $80. Big deal.

I came here to see a review on the Mio Moov (I think this model is similar). Bottom line, I think I'll wait and do some more research. Obviously, the mapping software should be updateable, and finding the least expensive gas is HUGE. I'd like to hear from whoever to see what you reccomend as the "saleskids" are probably biased to what's on their shelf. Thanks, and happy motoring. Oh, one more thing, is there such a thing as a combination road and off-road GPS? Thanks again! I’m new to GPS. I came here to see a review on the Mio Moov (I think this model is similar).

Some GPS devices have the ability to download fuel prices to allow the user to see where in town has the cheapest gas. Other people are looking at them as a way to get to their destinations with fewer missed turns and no extra miles.

Motorist will have little use of the device as they cut on unnecessary trips. The GPS device that gives the most accurate and quickest route to a destination will win the game and the rest will fade away. I have not used my MIO c220 in months as I have stayed away from those liesure trips that I used to take during weekends. I am those lucky ones who work and live in the same city. This summer I will ride a bike and stow my gas guzzling SUV away. Perhaps my GPS can still be used while riding a bike, all I need is to make provisions on how to install the device on the handle bars....
