...Mio Technology has introduced two new satnav systems. The Mio268 is the first purpose-built, genuinely portable satnav with a sub-£300 UK rrp. The Mio269 comes pre-installed with European maps at £399. Whether driving to a meeting, mountain biking, walking in a city the Mio268 can destress planning and navigation.
With pre-set modes for car, motorbike, bicycle and foot, they are specifically designed for every need. Want to get from A to B by car with the minimum of fuss? Urgently need a petrol station? Need to find a country pub to break your cycle ride for lunch? You'll find everything within easy reach. There's also an MP3 player for when you aren't on the move.

Selecting destinations is easy, using...

Stay clear of anything that sounds like a cat. Anyways, to shred a long story very short, the purchase rendered this man in an even more hopeless situation than before. The best bit was looking at the neatly packed box with all the dangly bits and pieces nicely wrapped up. The troubles began when the MioC210 was put into action on a trip to Wales.
Ever tried to sprint on a tight rope while plastered? Well, that's what it feels like when using the MioC210. It loses...
