5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Handy and User Friendly GPS Device, May 6, 2010

This review is from: Mio DigiWalker C520 Portable Car GPS Navigation System (Electronics)

Mio C520 has lots of breathtaking properties that makes it one of the best navigation devices in the market:

1- The GPS receiver is very powerful.

2- The maps are understandable and well designed.

3- 4.3 inches is the optimal screen size for a GPS device, and Mio C520 has it.

4- Text-to-speech works great on this device.

5- Fast and accurate re-routing, when you miss an exit or a turn.

6- There is that "jailbreaking" method available for Mio devices. If you jailbreak your device, you can use it as a PDA as well. You can view your Word and Excel files, you can play games, listen to music, run other navigation programs, install any map you find on the internet (including the updated ones and the ones belonging to different regions and countries).

Overall, I highly recommend this device to everybody. Even if this is not the newest model in the market. it's still one of the best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Has anyone used/bought this?, September 22, 2007

This looks pretty cool at first glance (I found it for $290 at another site). Anyone have one and want to comment? Can one use the MP3 player AND the GPS at the same time (like in the car? Map and listen to music? Or walk with directions and have tunes?).

Let the world know! Thanks.
