Mio busts out C250 portable GPS unit on the cheap

by Paul Miller, posted Nov 4th 2006 at 10:04PM

As if Mio didn't already have enough options for snatching your GPS ~~dollar~~ British pound, it's now introducing the decently-featured C250 navigation device to keep things interesting. Along with that 3.5-inch touchscreen, the device features full UK maps, major European roads, speed camera locations and free traffic alerts. The device is based on a 400MHz CPU, 64MB of RAM and a SiRF Star III chipset, and can manage MP3 playback in a pinch, but seems to be mainly suited for its primary purpose. The best news is the price: at £170 ($324 US) it comes in underneath many similarly specced devices, and should be available for stuffing some stockings this holiday season.

Yeah, what iamdigitalman said. Engadget must be doing quite well if it/they/you see this device as reasonably priced. Good on Engadget....

This thing is really cool, I've already read about it. The design is perfect, I love it! :) By the way, Nokia already has its first GPS unit. I think it's also nice.
