"Mio has no plan to update Canadian Maps"
Pros: Price point and ease of use
Cons: Maps and POIs are years out of date
Summary: This is my first GPS purchase and I'm pleased with the ease of use and display.
This will be my last MIO purchase. My major beef is that a GPS handheld provider should be able to leverage current maps and provide a mechanism for downloads. For in town directions i most often look for directions to recent sub-divisions (e.g., 1-2 years old) and/or POIs that I may not be aware of. Upon submitting a customer inquiry to Mio, they had no plan for updates to the Canadian maps. Without current maps this unit is useless.Updated
Although you'll read good reviews about the user interface, i would agree. It is sufficient and works well. Easy to use, etc.
However, I've spent 30 min trying to load new maps from my CD. Terribly difficult as apparantly the unit can only hold 2 main locations in North America. I have absolutely no idea how to clear the map memory (e.g., Southern US) so I can load NorthEast US. I'm very computer savvy and am extremely frustrated! Low scores on this one!
