Any ideas on which I should get? Thanks.

Answer 1

Well, iv'e used the Mio c310x for over a year now. If the c320 is any indication from that, it should be a nice buy for the price. My c310x isn't 100% accurate, doesn't say actual street names (tho it does have voice guidance), and sometimes directs you the long way around to get to a destination, but it DOES get me there, so I have that to back me up concerning Mio's work.



On the one hand, Cnet's reviews as well as its users reviews rank the Garmin higher, and you're also able to get it cheaper.



On the otherhand, the Mio has a bigger screen......



If this is entry level, I'd say go with the Garmin. Else, may wanna check out the reviews in detail, and consider spending a 'lil more to get what you may also like in a GPS device

The MIO C330 is the hottest GPS system out there other than the Navigon. I work for radio shack and here's some info on it. The MIO was first being used in Great Britain. It was tested over seas and all the bugs were worked out of prior to coming the US. MIO has a a built in MP3 player, you can switch the screen mode from night view to day view, it has a lot of POI's and the screen is ultra thin. The only downfall to this GPS is the Text to Speech meaning that it won't tell you what street you're going to turn on, it will just tell you either to make a left or right and in how many yards. But all in all, the MIO is by far one of the best GPS systems released in the US.

La verdad es que no estoy muy buena con la orientación y he comprado de bastantes veces GPS de sitios web, de mano o de bicicleta siempre han estado de una excelente calidad así que después de comprar el coche la primera cosa que hice fue comprar un GPS en los sitios web, la marca ya lo tenía claro y el GPS que me ha llegado esta perfecto, con mapas actualizadas, 3D, nombres de calles correctas, simplemente perfecto.
