Mio C310 Car GPS Receiver

Pros: Price, screen clarify, quick route recalculation, directions
Cons: map accuracy, POI database, upgrading

When I found out that my business would be requiring me to visit places I was unfamiliar with, and that many of these visits would be by car (or using a rental car), I decided that my days of relying on maps alone were over. AAA (American Auto Assn) ...

Pros: Great Maps, User Friendly, Fast Signal Lock And Recalculation!
Cons: None

If you are the type of person who is directionally inclined, i salute you and envy you! I am not one of the above and have always struggled with my directions! I can get in a car and head north, two turns later i will have absolutely no idea what way i ...

Pros: Price! Price! Price! Features rivaling much more expensive units. Easy to use!
Cons: Lacks abundant instructions. Sources for accessories needed. Voice prompts could be better.

Having owned a Magellan RoadMate 700 for some three years now, for which I paid about $1,200...I feel confident to comment on the relative value in the MIO C310X. My trusty Magellan fell off the windshield on a cold morning recently, and I believe the ...

Pros: Mio has bright screen, clear loud speaker, blazing re-calculation
Cons: Little clunkier and slightly more difficult than some units

I owned the Mio C310 x before I bought the ViaMichelin 930. I really tried to like the Via Michelin, bought it with every intention of loving it in March 2007. But I feel compelled to tell most of you to keep the Mio C310 and skip on the ViaMichelin if ...

Pros: Highly portable, very flexible, excellent GPS performance, easily hackable
Cons: Map database needs improvements, poor update policy, weak user documentation, battery not user replaceable.

Pros: Fantastic for emergency vehicles, truckers, regular drivers, bicyclists and hikers SuperFast rerouting SuperStrong Signal
Cons: Learning curve, after which it's user-friendly No built in FM Transmitter

I'll start this review by clarifying for you that I was not the recipient of the Mio C310x as a Christmas present - rather, I was the giver of this unit to my sweetie, Pappa Bear, who is often required to make his way through San Diego county traffic to ...

Pros: Relatively simple to use; bright and clear screen, relatively low price, small size
Cons: Outdated Maps (2005)! Poor customer service! Terrible battery life (less than 2 hours)!

Bought this during the Winter holiday sale of 2006 for $199 at Staples. The Good news... - Low price - The pre-loaded maps are generally clear and easy to read. - Display is bright and clear. - It's relatively simple to operate. - Turn on ...

Pros: Reasonable price-$200 Circuit City, Good Display, Excellent receiver
Cons: Battery life fair, MP3 functionality

Overall, I am very satisfied with the Mio 310X. This is the third GPS product that I have owned and find it to also be the best. I started out in 2003 with the Delorme Earthmate for Laptop and was very happy with that product even though it had many ...

Pros: Inexpensive, nice form factor, bright screen, clear audio
Cons: Map data is questionable due to serious errors in Oahu, Hawaii

Mio 310x review: I bought the Mio c310x during a holiday sale for $198 at Fry's electronics. They have a 30 day return policy and a 15% restocking fee. After a 7 day trip to Oahu, Hawaii Dec27-Jan2, 2007, I returned it and paid the restock fee. ...

Pros: Compact, Plays MP3, Eye Appealing
Cons: Less than optimal calculated routes, Poor maps

Mio is very eye appealing unit with, based on initial look, really packs a lot of features into a GPS unit. Includes an MP3 player built in. But once you take the MIO 310X on the road the appeal quickly wears off. Mio may have an edge on the bells and ...

Pros: Wat too many to mention.
Cons: None, really.

People that complain about this unit should back to paper maps. GPS is designed to get you to places you are not familiar with. When traveling to familiar places, there isn't any GPS that will know a better route than you! (whether you paid $3000 0r $199 ...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Cheap, slow processor, low-quality screen, out-of-date map database, bad routine engine

Unfortunately, it's *always* true that you get want you pay for. 1) The unit is really slow, compared to Sony, Garmin, TomTom. Sometimes it lags behind your driving which can be frustrating *AND* dangerous. (Imagine, driving past an exit only to be ...

Pros: small,nice screen, good sound
Cons: customer service stiinks, the maps are not accurate, very hard to use, no a/c charger

I recently purchased the unit from staples at $200.00. a nice price. It has no a/c adapter so i have to let it charge in the car and worry about someone stealing it. It comes with no instructions which need to be downloaded. 88 pages that only review the ...

Pros: Fast and accurate with loud speaker and good graphics.
Cons: A litle bulkier than the ViaMichelin.

I purchased the the C310X in January from Staples for $199 for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas. I had originally purchase the ViaMichelin X930, but the one I got only worked for 2 weeks before it wouldn't pick up a signal anymore. Since I had to ship it ...

Pros: Gets you to where you are going, affordable.
Cons: Maps are a bit outdated, Map Updates are expensive.

In my job as a two sport referee, I travel to various schools and facilities in order to discharge my duties. I was looking for a GPS unit that was affordable and would get me from point A to point B. I was a bit disappointed to find that a majority ...
