Mio - DigiWalker C220 Auto GPS Review Summary

Global Positioning Systems are great for those who frequently travel or who live in a large city but some of them can be quite costly. One budget- priced option is the Mio Digiwalker C220 Auto GPS. This GPS is no- frills in most every aspect and it can be taken straight from the box, placed in a car, and it ready to use. Reviewers like the simplicity of the Mio Digiwalker C220 Auto GPS and they like that it identifies points of interest along the way, like restaurants and hotels. The Mio Digiwalker C220 Auto GPS is “Good for the Price, but Not the Best Around” is how one person describes this device. Others, however, are not so praiseworthy, and they point out that the Mio Digiwalker C220 Auto GPS is often missing streets and is prone to crashing. In summary, the Mio Digiwalker C220 Auto GPS is a decent GPS Device for those on a budget, but there are certainly better options available.

The biggest factor that drew me to the Mio DigiWalker GPS was the price....under $200.  I wasn't willing to spend over $300, the price of most other brands.

Other reviews I read said how easy it is to use right out of the box.  I love that because I'm not big on reading manuals.  It's pretty easy to...

The Mio C220 is the basic. It takes some getting used to along with knowing what buttons to press. It does not allow you the ease of use as does the 230 or other Mios.  The use of the Mio C220 is not just a few buttons to push, but it does get you where you are going.  If I had the oportunity, I would...

 Mio Digi Walker-Model C220

Purchased this product on a recommendation from a friend.

Easy navigation features. Signal reception is fairly quick and constant. Recalculates instantly if you happen to "ignore" the spoken directions.

Unit could use a louder speaker. If windows are open while driving at higher speeds, it becomes harder to hear spoken directions, even when turned up. You may use a FM transmitter, or headphones to solve that issue. Does  give a nice advance warning of upcoming turns.

Preloaded maps are pretty much up to date, although we have had an issue or two with the unit wanting...

I have lived in my house 8 YEARS and my neighborhood still does not show up. This thing got me so lost in San Antonio because it is so far behind. I had to call my sister to mapquest where I was and how to get home! I called the company to complain and they told me it was the map makers fault. I called the map makers and they state they have provided updated maps but Mio has no plans to do an upgrade anytime soon. Better to spend the extra money and not get lost!

sometimes it says obvious things wrong, like take the exit on the left where as clearly it is on the right. Don't know why it does that, but if you still have your common sense then it is the GPS for you,

So, I had recieved this item as a gift for christmas about 2 years ago. As someone who travels frequently for work, it was more of a necessity than anything. My parents purchased this model for me because of it's small size and durability. I do have to say that it fits well into any purse and is very light. I do find that ocasionally it turns on by itself and while I am at work I will hear "GPS Signal Lost". This is a phrase that I hear often from this machine. Each time I reach a destination and turn off the GPS, as I get ready to leave and turn it back on, it takes a good 15 - 20 minutes to 'find'...

Got this last year at Pep Boys' after Thanksgiving sale. I've bee VERY pleased with this little unit. It's easy to use, accurate, reliable, and most of all flexible. Having the card slot as opposed to lots of internal memory has been the best feature. As a GPS unit, it's above average. But with a little searching online, you can learn how to unlock your unit to reveal it's underlying Windows operating system. Now, I not only have a great GPS system, but I have a unit that plays movies and MP3's. With the headphone jack, I'm in business.

We bought this for my daughter for xmas. biggest mistake we ever made. It is very hard to program and takes you a different way to the same place each time you put it in. We ended up returning it to the store. The clerk there told us we were about the 15 th customer to return one since xmas.We got her a Garmin instead, worth every penny.

This is a good gps unit, especially for the price.  The road database isn't the best...  I have found a few roads that are not in there.  The system will crash and have to reboot very occasionally.  However, these are small complaints.  Overall I am quite happy with it!

Easy to use.  Updates quickly when you miss a turn.  My main negatives are the routes it takes me....even when I have it set to take highways...it still try's to take me the back roads.  Other than that it works great.

My step son got one of this and showed it to me and I was really impressed with it.  Its easy to use although sometimes it will take you the scenic route.  Its compact but the screen is easy to see.  Maps are current.  I've seen some that are much more expensive and this does pretty much what all the rest do at a fair price.
