This GPS unit is not bad if you only use it in the USA. However, you cannot purchase and use mapsets from any other country. In my mind, this is a planned obsolescence design, and not acceptable. from Amazon.com I do! I love the Mio C520 for all of the reasons that each of the 'good' reviews state - and because I have access to the software application and can (at least I plan to one day) customize the interface myself. However, as good as the C520 may be, the service provided by Mio is directly inproportional. from Amazon.com Mio Digiwalker C520 Portable - Good on features, Poor Support from Amazon.com This was an OK unit until I updated the map and firmware from a disk I purchased from MIO. First of all I was very surprised to find the 'Update' on the disk has 2007 maps on it even thought we are in 2009. from Amazon.com The produce was received as defect, but passed the return period as they only give 7 days, and I didn't get to use it about 1 week later. Also, I tried to call and e-mail the seller, but the office was closed for about one week, by the time I contacted them, it's already pass the return period, so I had to send back to Mio for repair. They replaced System Board and sent it back to me. from Amazon.com I just bought this about 2 weeks ago and I am absolutely pleased by its split screen view and its almost instantaneous gps positional locater. In addition to being able to see where the car is heading, you can choose as an option to have the next 5 turns show up on the right side of the screen. This was the main reason I bought this delightful gps. from Amazon.com I would put the same title even if the price was over $500. This is the best GPS device with a great deal of properties. If you unlock your Mio C520, you will be able to completely personalize it and use alternative navigation softwares and maps whenever you want! (Warning: Unlocking the device makes the warranty obsolete.) Also, the device turns out to be a PDA, when you unlock and do the necessary operations. from Amazon.com I owned a MIO C310x for almost two year so I can say with confidence that MIO produces excellent GPS devices. This Mio C520 therefore is an upgrade for me. from Amazon.com After my previous Mio320 was stolen (some buggers busted into my car window while i was out for 10 min only), I explored the newer possibilities and fell for this one- and that was a good decision. For this price, the service is JUST LOVELY. from Amazon.com I use this gps on my motorcycle. I bought a bluetooth stereo headset to go with it(plantronics pulsar 260) it mate fine with now problem. I control the tracks and volume control and even pause and play on the gps. I could not get to listen to the navigation thru the headset though, so I glance down and watch the high lighted route. from Amazon.com
