'From the Manufacturer (June 19, 2008)':
Get easy-to-follow voice-guided directions and access to over 3.5 million points of interest with the svelte, stylish Mio Moov 200 portable GPS receiver. It's a great choice for adding to your car using the included windshield mount and car power cord, and it can also be used while on foot thanks to its rechargeable battery. With pre-loaded maps of all 50 U.S. States and Puerto Rico, the Mio Moov 200 is ready to operate in minutes with no computer set-up required. Other features include 1 GB of internal memory, an SD/MMC memory card slot, and up to 2.5 hours of battery life.

Never miss a turn with 3D indicators and clear voice turn-by-turn guidance.

The Mio Moov 200 sports a 3.5-inch, square-shaped display (320 x 240-pixel resolution) with a bright, anti-glare screen for easy viewing in any environment. All the controls, buttons and menus accessed via the touchscreen have been optimized for ease of use and fast access to the features you use the most. If you know the address of your destination, you can use the software's address-entry wizard and its on-screen keyboard. You can also use the Multi-stop Trip Planner function if you're running several errands. The Moov 200 allows you to save up to 200 destinations in a favorites list for easy access to your most visited addresses and points of interest.

While most GPS devices will alert you that you are 'about to turn left in 100 yards,' the Moov 200 goes a step further and includes an advanced Text-to-Speech feature that reads the actual street name as your next turn approaches--enabling you to spend more time watching the road and less concentration on the GPS screen.

Mio Moov devices feature the new SiRFInstantFixII GPS receiver, which deliver faster GPS signal locks so you can begin navigating as soon as you're ready to drive. The SiRFInstantFixII chip can find and lock a GPS signal in as few as five seconds during typical device start-ups, almost half a minute faster than other GPS devices. For users in cities where tall buildings can impede GPS signals--creating 'urban canyons'--a fast signal requisition can be the difference between missing a turn and arriving on-time.

Other features include:

• With over 3.5 million points of interest, it's easy to find restaurants, gas stations, emergency assistance, hotels and more.
• United States street-level maps are pre-loaded on the 1 GB internal memory

Rating: - Feature Filled Bargain
Full fetured bargian of a navigator. On the plus side, gets me to where I'm going with choice of voices indicating street names at a very reasonable price. Has all the options of a friend's $300 nav such as points of interest, updating the arrival time and computer connect for updating maps. Only minus I've found is while typing in the street & town names it is easy to hit the wrong letter as the letters are so small. I now use a plastic stylus which solved the issue (as long as I can find it). If I were using it every day that would bother me. For the occasional user this does the trick.

Rating: - Mio Updates Available Soon
Just a note for those who have reviewed this product.

Moov 200's will have updates available this fall. The product is brand new, no naturally they would not launch and update if they are brand new. Check again after Thanksgiving. Why would you need an update shortly after you bought it anyways?

Rating: - buy a tom-tom
I bought the mio moov because the price was unbeatable for the text to speech feature. I was told by the clerk that I could update maps online - this is not true. When I tried to register my product on line I thought I was missing the product code to do so. I called the company and was informed that there are no on line updates for the product.

Tom-Tom has on line updates to pick up any road changes etc.

This product will quickly become obsolete.

Rating: - Great Product
We love MIO. We bought it to take on vacation traveling half way across the counrty and she worked better than we could imagine. Very quick on the recalculation if you take a diferent turn. With the voice direction, you do not even need to look at the unit as she will tell you with plenty of time, were to turn and to go. This is an awesome product especially for the money and features you get. We would highly recommend to anyone.

Rating: - Best one in this price range
This unit does practically everything well; its display is clear, it's pretty easy to enter addresses, and it gives accurate directions, saying things like "Turn right on Thompson Street then make the first left" which is really helpful for knowing what lane to get into ahead of time. And having it say street names is very helpful.

TIP: The GPS only says street names if you use one of the "named" voices (example, English: Samantha) and not just a generic (like English female). Also, there's more voices on the CD you can upload into it. Mine's now Karen (Australian accent - very cool.)

Along with those features are some neat things like "Avoid Area" (where you just swipe your finger over an area on the map, and the route avoids it) and Multi-stop trip, where you can swipe your finger to drag-and-drop-reorder the destinations on the list. All very good.

But most importantly, it gets me where I want to go with rarely a problem. The couple of glitches I recently had both involved State parks: It found the way there, but to an odd entrance instead of the main entrance. Not a big deal.

Overall I highly recommend this one.
