I had used c230 for couple of weeks.

It has lots of fancy features which sounds preety good.

However, when I drive to Jercey city,it take us to no where.

I returned my C230 days ago.

I waited to purchase my first GPS with just TTS and decided on this one instead of the Garmin Nuvi 260 because it was half the price. The reviews seemed to be outstanding on this device so I was sold.

First, the less than one million POI’s is a joke at best, no Post Office locations, Train stations, I couldn’t even find a local Gap store in the area, I could go on and on.

The quick start guide is an absolute joke, I’m fairly adept at using computers and electronic devices and this thing took a long time to try to figure out and I still haven’t come close to solving this riddle. I can’t imagine a novice handling this item. It hasn’t been accurate with 3 different trip, just frustrating to use to say the least!

Personally, I don’t believe that you should invest hours reading a 90 page manual to figure out how to get from point A to point B.

I’m returning it to Amazon and trying the Garmin, I hope it’s not the same animal.

IT ARRIVED WITH ALL PARTS UNDAMAGED. IT NEEDS TO BE CHARGED BEFORE PUTTING IT THRIUGH THE SET UP ECT. IF YOU ARE TEC-SAVEY YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM WORKING THIS GPS. IF YOU ARE TEC-CHLANGED YOU WILL NEED HELP FROM YOUR CHILD OR GRANDCHILD TO HELP YOU WITH ALL TYHE ICONS. IT IS A GOOD , NO BELLS AND EXTRIAS , UNIT IF YOU WANT A GPS ONLY THIS IS A VERY GOOD ONE TO HAVE. GOOD GPS BAD SELLER!!!!!

i WILL NEVER BUY FROM AMOZON.COM AGAIN, HOWEVER. THEY USE INTRAPMENT WHEN YOU PLACE AND ORDER YOU CAN MAKE NO CHANGES AFTER IT GOES TO SHIPPING. i HAD A GIFT CARD I WANTED TO USE TO BUY THIS ITEM , IT WAS NOT VERY CLERA WHEN AND WHERE TO ENTER THE CARD # SO I DIDN’T GET IT IN ONT THE ORDER . I WENT IN RIGHT THEN TO MY ACCOUNT AND TO CUSTERMOR SERVICE , BOTH SAID IT HAD GONE TO SHIPPING AND COULD NOT BE CHANGED ALL IN LESS THAN 3 MIN. NOT CUSTERMOR FRINDLY !!!!!

I bought this for my wife, and it consistently gave wrong information about locations and directions.

Further, when we tried to return it, neither Mio nor Amazon would accept it because it’s beyond their 30-day policy.

Do NOT buy this product. No one stands behind it.
