Product Description
Mio Moov product line features new SiRFInstantFixII GPS receivers, which deliver faster GPS signal locks so users can begin navigating as soon as they are ready to drive. SiRFInstantFixII can find and lock a GPS signal in as few as five seconds during typical device start-ups, almost half a minute faster than other GPS devices. For users in cities where tall buildings can impede GPS signals - creating "urban canyons" - a fast signal requisition can be the difference between missing a turn and arriving on-time.
"From the Manufacturer (June 19, 2008)"
Get easy-to-follow voice-guided directions and access to over 3.5 million points of interest with the svelte, stylish Mio Moov 200 portable GPS receiver. It's a great choice for adding to your car using the included windshield mount and car power cord, and it can also be used while on foot thanks to its rechargeable battery. With pre-loaded maps of all 50 U.S. States and Puerto Rico, the Mio Moov 200 is ready to operate in minutes with no computer set-up required. Other features include 1 GB of internal memory, an SD/MMC memory card slot, and up to 2.5 hours of battery life.
Never miss a turn with 3D indicators and clear voice turn-by-turn guidance. |
The Mio Moov 200 sports a 3.5-inch, square-shaped display (320 x 240-pixel resolution) with a bright, anti-glare screen for easy viewing in any environment. All the controls, buttons and menus accessed via the touchscreen have been optimized for ease of use and fast access to the features you use the most. If you know the address of your destination, you can use the software's address-entry wizard and its on-screen keyboard. You can also use the Multi-stop Trip Planner function if you're running several errands. The Moov 200 allows you to save up to 200 destinations in a favorites list for easy access to your most visited addresses and points of interest.While most GPS devices will alert you that you are "about to turn left in 100 yards," the Moov 200 goes a step further and includes an advanced Text-to-Speech feature that reads the actual street name as your next turn approaches--enabling you to spend more time watching the road and less concentration on the GPS screen. Mio Moov devices feature the new SiRFInstantFixII GPS receiver, which deliver faster GPS signal locks so you can begin navigating as soon as you're ready to drive.

 A great GPS @ a great price January 6, 2009
I have owned an earlier model GPS for a good handful of years up until I purchased the Moov200. The earlier model did exactly what I wanted it to do, get from door to door. I purchased the Moov200 mostly because it had a 2008 map card, and I needed that being that I travel to more than 30 different destination a day. The added features this GPS has over the old surprised me. It says the street names vocally and is very accurate in the city I use it in. I wouldn't want to do my job without it. I highly recommend this GPS to those who want quality without breaking the bank for something that may have MP3 capability, bluetooth and all the other addons that I don't want or need. Worth the money and then some!
 Horrible customer service, cheap product January 4, 2009

I bought this device recently, and within 2 months of purchase the AC adapter car charger exploded and caught fire in my cigarette lighter. I called the provided 1-866# for tech support and replacements, however I was never able to talk to an operator, I only got stupid FAQ tech question answers. I then used email tech support which provided a link for me to PURCHASE another car charger, when they should replace it for free as it is under my ONE YEAR warranty. Also, after about a month the GPS unit took 10-15 minutes to even find the satellite to map directions, and the device had to be reset daily because of that. This is a medium to low priced GPS unit, but be careful what you purchase as you will get what you pay for and much worse!
 Cute small cheap text to speech GPS December 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Review by "Wreikat" is quite right.
One really needs a full 3 to 4 hours training to use this GPS. May be I am to used to with Garmin and Magellan. Here one has to enter address backward, first state, then city name, road name, and then the number; else nothing could be found. And having no rerouting is real stupid idea. I think I have to return this one soon and get Garmin or Magellan. But, best thing for this is the price, I got it for 89.99 plus taxes, dirt cheap. And at this low price it does do the text to speech, where as for other makes it at least $140 or so.
 Great Unit at a Great Value December 18, 2008

This is my second Mio. I found out before the Mio's, any GPS unit is only as good as the map database. Mio's database is accurate and very up-to-date. It even has streets that are not yet built. It is also one of the only units below $250 that allow you to Touch and Drag the screen. Having it say the street name as part of the instructions is very helpful. The only down side is the Zoom feature that requires several key strokes to get the level you want. But that is very minor.
It is a superb unit, and the British voice selection is really cool. I love it and use it both at work and home.
Best Price/Performance GPS You Can Buy December 11, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I own 5 GPS systems, including in-dash systems in 2 of my cars. But I've come to realize that more is not better when it comes to GPS.
Forget about MP3 capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity, photo storage, radio traffic reports or whatever else they'll try to stuff into your GPS just so they can charge you an arm and a leg. I'm into lowest price/best performance GPS, and would never buy an in-dash unit again for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that you can't take it with you!
I had a cheap Garmin i5 that worked well for a year or so until it would no longer connect with the computer for updates. It also went through AA batteries like corn through a hog.
I bought the basic TomTom One last year about this time in an attempt at findng a cheap GPS replacment for the Garmin. The TomTom was used only about 10 times over the past year until all of a sudden the USB port broke off the motherboard for no reason It would cost more to try and get it fixed than buying a new GPS, and I needed one in 2 days for a trip I was about to take to South Florida.
I was looking for the cheapest GPS I could find, this time with text-to-speech, spoken instructions ("Turn left at Maple Street in 1/4 mile" instead of "Left turn ahead") and I discovered the Mio Moov 200. It was on sale for an incredible price and a quick check of the Amazon reviews seemed positive. Since I didn't have time to mess around, I bought it.
I'm now in the middle of that trip and I have to say that the Moov 200 has to be hands down the best bargain in all of GPS land.
There's no other current GPS unit that will give text-to-speech instructions at this price, and the U.S. male voice is clear and steady.
Vocal instructions are more important than the map display because you really do NOT want to be taking your eyes off the road to study a tiny map that you can't see anyway because of sun glare, and the Moov 200 has really surprised me with the quality of the voice and the instructions.
The voice tells me both the name of upcoming road I need to turn on to, along with the road number and the distance, then again when I get closer. I will say that I wish it would give the distance in tenths of a mile, because that's what car odometers use, but neither did the TomTom or Garmin. The text-to-speech, spoken instructions is more information than I get from any other GPS unit I own, including the $2,000+ in-dash units in my 2 cars.
The Moov 200 is definitely a much better unit than my TomTom One, which did not have text-to-speech and only gave distances in yards. Yards?
The Moov 200 is so easy to use, you honestly don't have to read the (very thin) instruction manual. It has a built-in tutorial that starts up when you turn it on. I first turned it on in my living room and it dropped down on the couch, and when I picked it up, I was very surprised to see that it synched with several satellites and it knew exactly where it was.
It picks up satellites almost instantaneously -- much, much faster than any other GPS I own. And it seems very insensitive to positioning in the car, unlike my Garmin or TomTom, which very much need to be way up on the dash with nothing around them to block the view.
Even the window suction cup holder is much better than my Garmin and way better than the TomTom. It really holds on, something the TomTom never did, and it's easy to pop the Moov on and off the mount to program a new address.
The only nits I can pick are that you can't find a restaurant by cuisine, and if you pick one off the list but then decide to go backwards to find another, it goes back to the beginning of the nearby restaurant list rather than where you left off. But that's a very minor inconvenience.
Other than that, it's very accurate, super easy to use, easy to switch between 2D and 3D maps and easy to program. It can be set to speak the letters and numbers as you're entering them in, which helps ensure accuracy.
Conclusion? There's really no reason at all to spend more money on a GPS, this baby does it all, and my feeling is that it's better than any of the other 4 GPS systems I own, and it beats the ultra-expensive dash units in both of my cars (both of which have a yearly CD map update feature that each cost more than the list price of the Moov 200!). Highly recommended.
