Mio C710 GPS navigation system review

Jul 29, 2006 gps navigation, gps reviews, mio

Mio C710 got a lot of good points in this review. The C710 is high-end product from Mio, and offers a lot more features then the price cautious C210 model. It has a lot improvements compared to it, specially in the body design. Let’s get started:

Pros

• compact body design
• extra inch of screen then C210
• easy zoom and elevation controls
• one free subscription to the Mio Traffic and speed camera alert service
• currency and unit converter
• 2GB of in-built flash memory

Cons

• somewhat slow update of position on the road
• default POI not very extensive
• can’t listen mp3 while navigating

Although Tomtom can crow about their online Plus service, which is great once you’re set up with a subscription, what you get built in with the C710 is even more impressive.

The Mio retails for about £360, which makes it a direct competitor to the Tomtom Go 510. However, the Mio C710 offers you much, much more for your money.
