Advantages: Speed Camera Detection. Use as Bluetooth hands free kit. Built to perform without being fussy!

Disadvantages: This base model does not include traffic information.

So I needed a sat nav with a speed camera detector and was looking at things like TomTom, Road Angel etc... none of them come close to the Mio for value for money.
This is one of those bargains you stumble upon once in a while, where you realise the big name brands are ripping you off and this one does a lot more functions!

Very easy to use touch screen which is a good size, unlike the Road Angel 6000 where you have to use a stylus! Ugh!

This unit has NEVER taken me the wrong way and has so many built in locations like restaurants, petrol stations, cinemas etc...
From the start you have the whole UK on the unit but also supplied are the (CD) maps for Europe which would also come in handy.

Also this doubles up as a bluetooth hands free kit so no need to look like an idiot with one of those things in your ear! :)

For the computer whizz's out there you can also "hack" into the mio and customize things like layout and menus exactly how you want to look & work!

A few more functions include MP3 player and photo viewer which are pretty useless if you have a normal sound system in your car and the photo viewer I've never even used because it seems pointless - but maybe some people like it?

I will be buying another one of these and I recommend Mio to all of my friends.

Summary: Buy a Mio! You'd be wasting your time with anything else!
