I have a C220 and it is not very good. If I followed it faithfully, I would have driven into numerous lakes/ponds, trees, houses etc. You are not missing much in not getting this, even for the price.

Mine was AWFUL. I don't remember what model it was, but it broke right after the warranty (and I am talking days) and the customer service people left a lot to be desired.

 

The gps on my verizon cell phone is better than a mio...:rolleyes:

The gps is better than my Garmin C550, because the maps are more up to date. But having my c550 is more convenient (plus has a larger screen) than my phone. Plus, my phone is mainly used for phone calls. I think the maps have more to deal with how up to date your software is (mine is 2-3 years old), I would guess this would be good (even if it is 1 year out of date, in most cases). I just can't see paying Garmin $100 to update the maps, when I can buy a nice new GPS for about the same price.

My sister had a Mio and took hers back. If she would of followed hers it would of took her up a street to get to the highway where there is no access to it. Plus numerous other mess-ups. Some may have better luck with theirs, but I told her to wait and get one on black Friday. I am sure there will be good deals then.

 

Also, don't let this deter you from posting more great deals :)
