I have used the GPS to addresses I know and it mwants me to turn right when the correct direction is left. The support fro Mio is disgraceful and not worth the effort in contacting them I have a MIO C 520 and I am constantly been given incorrect directions.

Tried to communicate with MIO prior to a trip to France about map availability - No reply. I like my C520, but support and map updates are an issue. I sure would like Europe Maps.

Two weeks ago I called again and was told I will be called. Still no call.

Is back at Mio for the 3rd time. Since I bought it it runs about 20 minutes and resets. Mio service is poor. I have paid to date $45 to send it in to be "fixed". I asked them to replace it the third time and was told they do not replace. Last time they replaced the motherboard and the same problem 20 minutes after I got it back. I have had since March 2008 and they have had it at the shop almost more than I have had it to use. Never will buy one of these again. Product is bad, replaccement policy is nonexistant, can not get a corporate number to call. Money poorly spent. I have a c720 – keeps reseting itself. Is back at Mio for the 3rd time.

I purchased this unit because it showed streets and addresses in numerous small towns(something many of the others did not). I find the the accuracy for the most part great. Then there are streets that the address is out 1/2 block. When it was new, I had a battery life of 3-4 hrs, now it is 15 minutes. The unit's maps are 2006 and 2 months after getting this they had 2007's out at $80.00. It seems they have better coverage in small towns in Canada. Would I purchase another Mio? I hope they correct a few issues mentioned by others but, yes, probably. I own a c520. I live in Regina, Western Canada.

You should maybe send yours back, it might be factory defective. Or it needs a software update. It should not do that. If it looses signal all the time I would assume that it is hardware.

This GPS will take us off the freeway only to tell us to go back on, Kept on getting GPS signal loss throughout our travels. This system took us 50 miles off course before we had to turn back wasting a whole lot of gas. I am not happy with this GPS device because it does not work too well, and is a waste of time, gas, and money. Next time I purchase a GPS I'll do better research.
