Now I am stuck with this useless GPS. I got it at PepBoys and now they tell me they didn't sell the unit. Very low volume on this unit and it does not have text to speech feature. Roads change often and Mio does not update the maps. However, there are no map updates available. Purchased this unit with the understanding that map updates were to come very soon. This unit is a complete waste of money. It has some nice features but, outdated maps right out of the box.
Every time I drive home from work it wants me to go down a dead end street. No updates for the maps. I will never purchase a Mio again. I contacted Mio the first day I received this as a present in 2007. I still have the problem number and it, is still on there website when I log in. Then it thinks every road is dirt and will not take me down the shortest route.I contacted them on there website, called and e-mailed and no help.
The Mio has never been reliable -- from shutting down for no apparent reason, to requiring me to enter the same destination over and over before it calculates a route, to continually losing its signal, to not recognizing its own map card -- and was not worth a penny of what I paid for it. After fighting with this GPS for just over a year I threw it out with the trash tonight & just ordered a Megellan Maestro 4250 that my husband has & is quite happy with (& knew better than to trade mine for). My advice: spend a little extra money to save yourself a ton of frustration.
It did exactly what I needed it to do. I would highly recommend this GPS to anyone that just wants to get from point A to point B.without spending alot of money. I'm talking a couple thousand trips. This Mio got me from loading dock to loading dock, every single time. For the price I paid this C220 is amazing. I bought this GPS about 2 years ago now. I drove truck over the road for a while and everyday was taking cargo to places I had no idea where it was. It doesn't have MP3 or Bluetooth capabilities, but I didn't want all of that.
When I requested a route from Buena Vista to Winter Park the GPS told me that the destination was not reachable. Also the GPS will not route unless you have a specific address to punch in. Not knowing the area, I did not know any of the street names so I could not input an address. Garden of the Gods, CO, The Grand Canyon, AZ, Hoover Dam, NV.
consumer MIO. Here is the kicker, while the US version does not offer an update the European versions offers map updates, firmware updates, a custom POI loader, and a POI updater. Also the battery on this unit lasts about 1 hour. I got this unit in 2007 for Christmas and soon after I noticed that neighborhoods that had been built in 2006 were not included on the map. When I was driving in Colorado route 40 wasn't even on the map. The GPS was unable to find the following landmarks. For example I was driving to Herndon, VA and the GPS could not find a street that was built in 2006.
Thanks for screwing the U.S. Here is the number one problem with this GPS; there are no map updates available. The POI's are also very limited. The next best option would be to route to the city center but the c220 does not have that option.
