MIO C520

 

Been reading some pretty good reviews on the Mio C520 and wondering if anyone here has one and what your opinion is. One thing that bugs me is Mio doesn't say which side of the street your destination is on and that could be a problem as some streets are divided by a barrier. Does the Mio take you to the right side of the barrier? Aside from that has been an issue with bluetooth incompatibility. I have never had bluetooth and is it possible to link up to the gps with just the earpiece I see people wear? That would be a good feature if that was possible so I can better hear the gps over the roar of a diesel.

Thanx for the info,
Ray

With my C520, after I pair

With my C520, after I pair my bluetooth phone with it, I don't need bluetooth handfree. The unit has built-in speaker which work very well. The sound is loud enough. I can answer the phone call by touching the C520's screen.

Ray,

If you haven't already been over to the "Why Mio" forum post (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/9630), you might want to check it out. I have a Mio C320 but managed to practically turn it into a C520 though user "upgrades".
