So far I'm disappointed with

So far I'm disappointed with the MIO, the lack of map update should kill about anyone's interest in that unit IMO. Besides, the Garmin's GUI vs the MIO's GUI is really better,,,Garmin rules so far Thanks. sv

I'd Have To Respectfully Disagree

For the price of the current units, it's a great beginners GPS. It's a great learning tool and has been very handy in the little I've needed to use it. Obviously, a map update would be a great thing but given how little things really changes (except for new subdivisions etc.), I'd say the unit is worthwhile to have.
