Mio Moov M300 and M400 – Black Friday specials?
UPDATE: Okay commenters, you’re right, it’s not the iGO interface, but it does appear to be the Navman interface, and not the Spirit. I stand by my Black Friday prediction though!
Mio just can’t seem to make up their mind. When we last heard from them they were touting the Spirit interface on their S-series units. [...]
CES – Conversations with Mio
Mio was showing off their new Moov S-series with the Spirit interface at CES. There really isn’t a lot more to add about that, though I am looking forward to reviewing them. I’m thrilled to see Mio include 12 million POIs, even on entry level models.
Mio Moov S series
Mio will be announcing several new models at CES a little later today. As we predicted last week, these units will incorporate the Spirit interface with what they are now calling "slide screen" technology. Here are details on the new models, all slated to be available in the first half of 2009:
Mio Moov S300 – [...]
Mio to debut Spirit series at CES? NavReady not ready?
Mio’s new corporate blog has dropped a hint that they’ll be debuting the Spirit interface on some new North American models next week at CES. Previously available in Europe under the Navman label, the Spirit interface offers “Glide Touch,” giving ‘tap and slide’ functionality.
A GPS company without direction
DigiTimes is often cryptic, but I'm not sure what to make of this line in today's report on Mio's parent company entitled "Mitac falling short of 2008 GPS PND shipments target; to enter netbook OEM business:"
While acknowledging the shrinking auto markets in the US and Europe, Mitac said it will continue to promote sales of [...]
Knight Rider GPS by Mio review
UPDATE: This model has been discontinued. For current recommendations, please refer to our auto GPS buyers guide or check out our other Mio GPS reviews.
The Mio Knight Rider has gotten a lot of coverage for its hip factor, though I assume its appeal is limited to fans of the 80’s TV show Knight Rider. Mio [...]
Mio free map update promotion
Mio appears to be trying to bump holiday sales this year with a free map promotion dubbed "The Map’s on Mio." It also sounds like they will be introducing some new models soon, since the promotion lists some we haven’t heard of before. Eligible units are the Mio Moov 200, 200c, 210, 300, 300c, 300x, [...]
Knight Rider GPS by Mio is now official
UPDATE: Read my hands on Mio Knight Rider review.
It’s either the worse-kept GPS secret in years, or a well orchestrated bit of buzz, but now it’s official – the Knight Rider GPS by Mio is due out later this quarter. So if you were a fan of the cheesy 1980’s muscle car show, you too [...]
Mio Moov 200 review
The Mio Moov 200 is the entry level model in Mio’s new Moov series. The Mio Moov 200 has a 3.5” touch screen, comes with over 3.5 million points of interest (POIs), and has text-to-speech, so you’ll get "turn left on Oak Street in 200 feet", rather than just "turn left in 200 feet."
Stepping [...]
Mio Moov 310 review
I’ve been testing the Mio Moov 310 recently, one of the first four models in the new Moov series just introduced by Mio. This product line has a completely new interface, created thanks to Mio’s purchase of Navman. As a result, I will go into the interface in some detail in this review. First though, [...]
