Mio Digiwalker H610 review
Published on February 19th, 2007 in gps navigation, mio
Mio’s smallest hanheld GPS navigation system Digiwalker H610 got reviewed and got 4 out 5 stars (circles to be exact).
Measuring just 2.3 by 3.4 by 0.7 inches and weighing a mere 3.9 ounces, the H610 packs plenty of features into the tiniest unit on the market. Of course, in a GPS device, that biggest asset could also be its largest liability. The 320- by 240-pixel touch screen is only a small 2.7 inches. Also, without a text-to-speech engine that pronounces street names, the tiny screen size definitely makes it less usable as a dashboard-mounted GPS. But that’s not the only target market for the H610. Because the device features both bicycle and pedestrian guidance profiles, the smaller screen is less of a liability than if it were a dedicated dashboard device. Even so, I found it quite usable in my road tests, especially after I placed the unit closer to me by mounting it fairly high up on the windshield.
Reviewers liked almost everthing about the H610, even including the media players that they’re always so picky about. The only downside was the side of the size of the screen (2.7″) they say. You can buy the Mio H610 from Amazon for $380.

After having tested or owned the upper tier of Garmin (660) and Magellan (4040 , and the direct competition (The tiny Loox model ) I can tell you that this MioH610 unit gives everyone a run for their money! The screen is small but extremely sharp, the battery life is excellent, and the POI database is awsome compared to ALL of the others I’ve tried. The interface may not be quite as easy as Garmin, but it’s quite intuitive. Volume is also quite loud, if you want it to be. This model is also the EASIEST to remove from its windshield mount (Magellan’s is a pain to remove) Touch screen is about the best you could ask for. Remember, you’re getting an extremely well-designed GPS that is truly portable!! I highly recommend it!
