Mio DigiWalker C710 review
Aug 8, 2006 gps navigation, gps reviews, mio, nuvi
A recent review compares the Mio C710 to the Garmin’s nüvi 350. Because of the short list below it finds that the Mio C710 is no nüvi killer.
Pros
- built-in DivX video player
- GPS antenna integrated into the case
Cons
- no music playback during navigation
- no pedestrian mode
- no text-to-speech engine
The Mio C710 is listed at $650 however you can pick one up from Amazon for $510 and the competetion Nuvi 350 for $620.
The POI database appears to be reasonably up to date. Restaurants near my home that have opened within the last year were included. I was disappointed, however, that you couldn’t search for a POI by spelling its name. You couldn’t, for example, search for the nearest Wal-Mart or McDonald’s.

The C710 Does inded have a pedestrian mode! Have another look at it. In fact that is what makes it so versatile. That it can be used in the car or walking round a town.
