Mio R403 4.3" GPS Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I replaced a Mio C220 that I'd had for almost 5 years. It cost $180, but the R403 was $90. The configuration changes were much easier by comparison...more intuitive. If hardware and software has to be navigated via a 200 page manual, it's too complex(with the necessary exceptions, of course). A GPS should not be so complex a manual is necessary to read (to have, yes, but not forced to read). The navigation compared to the C220 is not better in the routes it chooses. The lane guidance is great and works without a problem. There will never be a GPS that will pick a route that is best because it is better than other choices. It will pick what is configured to be fastest, shortest, cheapest, etc.. One option that needs to be included is to exclude neighborhood streets.
I've tested it and found the C220 to more my liking, but it's broken and I'm not about to go "backwards". When I've chosen a different route then it gives, it doesn't endlessly try to re-route me back. It moves on as it should. I have navigation through my phone, but it's slower when going through city streets. I've missed turns because of that. I chose the Mio because I'd have one before and as it would turn out, the power adaptor for the C220 works for the R403 as well. There are not many details given here, because the liking of a GPS unit is fairly subjective.

Mio MOOV 300 4.3-Inch Widescreen GPS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I need a GPS for my daugther, who got her driver license recently and have been calling home asking for direction often :-) After surveying the field I narrowed my choices down to: Garmin 260W, TomTom XL-S, and Mio Moov 300. The main selection criteria are:
1. bigger screen
2. text-to-speech
3. all gps functions, none others (e.g. bluetooth)
Since Moov 300 is fairly new and there aren't a lot reviews it is sort of a risky buy. However, since all 3 are pretty much the same functionality-wise, the tie-breaker came down to price. After a couple of weeks, here are some opinions:
Pros:
1. fairly easy to use (never read the manual).
2. find satellites almost instantly (< 15sec), even inside my house. Note that performance might vary, I can only speak from my experience.
3. Good text-to-speech, announce direction in advance. Again, I read some people complained it announced turns too late, but not yet to me. It usually announces twice, once to remind you beforehand, the other when the turn is near.
4. fast re-route
Cons:
1. Battery is weak, less than 2 hours.
2. Sometimes the route is devious.
Overall, I consider it worth the money if you are not too picky.
