Review: This Mio C520 Car GPS Reciever is a very awesome quality buy. I happened to get this as a gift. I am a military spouse and we travel a lot. So this is a fantastic buy for us considering we travel to a lot of new places all the time. It was a great gift. ...

Cons: Bluetooth won't pair, learning curve for advanced features.

The Bottom Line: If you are a techie you will love this unit. If all you want is GPS get me from here to there you might want something simpler.

Review: I was introduced to the Mio brand by my friend who showed me his C320 and I loved its looks. I was able to purchase the C520 for just a few dollars more for what I could get the C320 so it was a no brainer for the upgrades of Bluetooth and Text To Speech ...

Pros: The display on a trip is informative and relatively easy to understand.

Cons: An incomplete implementation that is difficult to understand and use.

The Bottom Line: This is an incomplete product. There are much easier to use GPS products with the same or more features for less money.

Review: It took me a while to figure out how to use this unit. The MIO website makes the 520 sound real good. I am afraid it is marketing hype. This unit is tough to use. I have read major parts of the manual and I am slowly figuring out "how to". The ...

Pros: it looks nice, wife wanted it.

Cons: i dont have enough room here

The Bottom Line: only buy this unit if you want to suffer.
