That's why Mios are inexpensive. It's a one time purchase.

Hack it into a PDA to get extra use out of the thing.
Hopefully the folks doing Miopocket will keep up with these new models too!

While frequent map updates would be preferred, Mio was selling text-2-speech units for $99 while Garmin and Tom Tom wanted $400 and up. Mio is the competition that is driving the cost of GPS units downward. Street prices for Mio are often substantially less than MSRP.

If my Mio remains useful for 2-3 years without updates, I will willingly update to a new unit with new features if the cost remains low. Still, updates would be appreciated.]]>Jan 9th 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/mio-launches-four-new-moov-navigators-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/mio-launches-four-new-moov-navigators-at-ces/Jan 9th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/mio-launches-four-new-moov-navigators-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/mio-launches-four-new-moov-navigators-at-ces/
If it is indeed a one time purchase, then Mio should indicate on the outside packaging that no further map updates will be available. Then the consumer can make a better informed decision. I'll look into this MioPocket thing..seems kind of interesting.]]>Jan 10th 2009 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/mio-launches-four-new-moov-navigators-at-ces/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/09/mio-launches-four-new-moov-navigators-at-ces/
"Mildly interesting" no I don't think so. When I visited the Navigon, Tom Tom and Garmin booths, it seemed to be same old hardware with some new features (that I personally don't need and/or want) added to the existing software. Give the newbs on the block some space to grow and then do the same.....that would be my 2009 mantra... =)]]>Jan 17th 2009 10:47AM
