Great Product

Very good product. It works very well, fast to find signal, large screen. It is perfect on United States. In South America, for instance, you do not have maps for while. In this case you will have to use an older version of Miomap.

GPS

Pro: very satisfied with this product. Initial startup went well over the internet setting it up. Scrren is large and clear, voice is clear and on the money with directions so far.
Price purchased at was good. Recommend

con: initial startup when being used to locate signal seems a little slow

My husband LOVES his!

I researched textlinks">GPS systems for hours before choosing this unit as a Father's Day gift for my husband. It is his 1st tracking device, but he has repeatedly commented on how much he loves it. He travels approximately 4 days per week, making stops along the way to see customers on a daily basis. A large portion of his territory is new for him, and he is unfamiliar with the locations of his customers' offices, so he is delighted not to have to pull over to consult a map, or sit in a client's parking lot mapping out his next stop. He found programming it simplistic, and it only took a few hours to put in his entire customer base. He loves that he can find Hooters along the way, as well as his hotel locations easily. He thought he could live without one, but now, he doesn't how he managed with only a map. I am just tickled I found a gift that not only surprised him, but one he actually likes! I plan to buy another for our son, and possibly one for myself.

I was concerned that this model had only 3.5 million POI's (points of interests), as opposed to 6 million which seemed to be more common among the other brands, but thus far, everything he was looking for has been stored within the unit. (Knock wood.)

If your husband/boyfriend has large hands, the 4.3" screen is a must. He barely has room to type as it is. (He wears a size 13 ring.)

We live in Florida, and he has no problem seeing the screen in the bright light. He does take it out of the vehicle when he's not in it, though, to prevent theft, so I cannot say how well it withstands heat. It does fit in his pocket. If you have never owned a GPS before, this one is a great one to try. It has only misled him 3 times out of perhaps 250-300, and it does have a "mind of its own". It thinks he should take an entirely different route home from certain locations than he prefers, and he said it does get quite insistent when you don't follow directions and turn around!

And one other feature it has that he really likes: It knows ALL of the breaks in the highway. It down't know which ones are illegal U-turns, but it alerts you to a break before you drive up on it, in order to double back, should a U-turn be allowed and needed.

I would buy it again

I bought it about 3 months ago when I moved. It is especially reliable when negotiating small residential roads. The POI is more than sufficient. It has directed me to the exact location 99.99% of the time, which I think is satisfactory.

Cons: My husband owns a Magellan and I agree that MIO textlinks">310 powers up slower initially, maybe 15 secs slower, when locating the start-up location. The power cord could be longer and the battery-life is shorter compared to the Magellan. Either leave it plugged in all the time or charge it up with the USB cord on your laptop or computer.

Overall, it's a thumbs-up for me.
