Ive owned my Mio C510 E for about six months now and i am very pleased with it, its become a must have for any long car journey, or just to find a shop, address or place of interest in a area im not familiar with. The unit is very compact and has a nice solid feel to, its easy to set up and operate, most of its functions are accessed through its touch screen that has nice sized buttons that will accomodate the fattest of fingers. The software supplied with the unit is easily installed and allows you access to MIOs website where upgrades and updates to the maps and speed camera warning system are regularly available and automatically update your unit via the supplied usb cable. The unit aquires a satalite signel in quite a short space of time after being turned on and can even pick up a signel indoors, although that depends on the type of building you are in and where the salalites are positioned in relation to windows and doors etc. In operation the speed camera warning system is a handy facility, warning you of known speed camera positions with a bleep that gets quicker as you aproach the camera. I used the MIO in Portugal in november in a hire car with no problems, I just installed the map suppiled on cd with the unit onto a SD card that I had bought seperately and it did the rest. I must add here that one or two of the routes that the system took me down ended in a dead end where a new road or developement had been built across the sugested route, but thats to be expected with any sat nav system and applies in the uk too, as sat navs only work on the information they have in memory, so if a road system changes your sat nav wont know about it until its updated, but in the MIOs defence as soon as you stray off its sugested route by just a few metres, or simply turn around, in under ten seconds it recalcutates a new route and gets you back on track.
