The Mio is so abundant better. Although the acquisition is sometimes not as authentic as I'd like, it's no altered than the Garmin, and the accession to the satellites is 100 times better. Route planning is about instantaneous. I've approved the Roadmate, and several added units, and absolutely frankly, for the price, this is the best assemblage I've appear across. To anyone that is snubbing this unit, I'd say that it's because they aren't application the assemblage properly.
