It's been a while since we've seen a new
Mio navi hit Stateside -- Mitac seems to be concentrating on the
Magellan brand here -- but it looks like there's still some kick left in those boots: say hello to the Moov S401 and S501. Baby brother 401 will
sell for $129 and has a 4.3-inch screen and four million preloaded POIs, while the
$169 501 bumps it up to 4.7 inches and 12 million. Both have Mio's newish "Spirit" interface, but we're most intrigued by the repeated mentions of gas price searching and Google Send to GPS in the docs we were leaked, which suggest integration with a service like
MSN Direct. We'll find out soon -- these are set to land in Radio Shack in mid-May.
Update: Mio just pinged us to say that these prices are wrong, but they didn't tell us anything else, so stay tuned.

WOOOT!! It was SPIRIT UI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!
was = has. typo sorry
12million POI is great, why they can't had the map look like google ma, easier traffic view, or has satellite image? Those will be much better feature.
I think Google need to come out a OS for GPS, i wanted google map on the go.
Dammit, I'm going to hell.... You mean the iPhone.
lol.... good to recognize the flame is coming. I think what mugupo wants is a real-time turn by turn with voice Google GPS.
"Prepare to turn right in 200 meters"..."By the way you got new mail" (that would be cool)
