Mio 269 Mobile 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall, we are very pleased with the Mio 269. It is chocked full of features. It was especially handy on our recent trip to Oahu in that one of the features it has is the POI (point-of-interests.) Sometimes, maps just aren't so clear on where the good stuff is hiding in Hawaii. The Mio pointed them out to us. It is user-friendly-no preloading of software-just turn it on and it locates where you are instantly. Without reading the manual, I had no problem operating the unit. If you drive a route with it turned on, it will automatically remember that route and give you directions without prior programming...handy in case of road construction and detours. It is about the size of a pocket calculator, but the display is plenty sizeable, readible and the maps are rich and colorful. One of the features (can be turned on/off) is that it lets you know when you are exceeding the speed limit (a nice feature if you are in unfamiliar territory or a school zone!) We like that it is versatile enough to go from car to on foot for hikes. It also can be used as an MP3, a feature used while taking a bike ride...yes, it has a bike mount too. It does not have a car mount though or cannot be affixed to the window as having anything suctioned to your window is illegal in California, so that can be a problem if you don't have a place in your car to set it in a visible position. It comes with a lighter adaptor for the car and a nice protective case. It is easy to estow out of site like in a console or in the glove compartment. The price and the versatility of this unit made it a great first GPS purchase for us.
