"Great unit but beware. The pre-installed maps are YEARS out of date."
Pros: Simple interface, easy to use. Very intuitive
Cons: None really... except there is no way to keep the USA maps current.
Summary: I bought the unit in October 2006. I noticed a road that I regularly use is not on the map. It was paved about 4 years ago. I could not find a way to update the maps using the software that came with the unit. I emailed Mio and got no response. I created an account with them for updates and could not find anything on their very slow web site. I think it is hosted on a dial-up connection. Really! Anyway, I finally called and tech support told me they don't offer updates...but they still offer new units for sale!!! C'mon guys. Why are you ripping us off? Apparently, Destinator is the company that has the mapping software this unit uses and they no longer do business with them. The units can be hacked, so I've read, but I don't think I should have to do that with on that is still new.
