Mio unveils C317 (for Korea)

Apr 23, 2007 gps navigation, mio

Mio unveiled a new GPS navigation with a DMB receiver for watching TV. But they didn’t stop there; they also threw in DMB recording capability. The new Mio C317 has a spacious 4.3″ screen and it features a SiRF Star III GPS receiver for navigation. As far as TV goes, you can, thanks to PIP (picture in picture), view it while navigating. The only downside is the fact that there’s no HDD on board so you’re gonna have to rely on some high capacity SD/MMC cards (supports upto 8GB) to store your favorite show.

Mio C317 integrates a 2100mAh battery that should last around 5.5 hours for navigation, and 4 hours for TV watching.

Then only Mio’s available on Amazon these days are the Mio C310x, Mio H610, Mio P550, Mio C220, Mio C710, and Mio 269. No news on whether C317 will ever make it to North America or Europe… via
