Mio Delivers Entry Level GPS Device

The Mio DigiWalker C220 comes with available U.S. maps and is designed to operate for up to four hours at a time on its battery.

Personal GPS navigation device supplier Mio Technology is at it again with a new entry level GPS device. The Mio DigiWalker C220 is priced at around $250 and should be available now.

The Mio DigiWalker C220, which is a follow up to Mio’s self proclaimed popular DigiWalker C310x, is noted by the company as coming equipped with more than 3.5 million points of interest and offering a stylish look. This GPS unit comes with U.S. maps (Alaska and Hawaii included) preloaded on an SD card and offers general features like turn-by-turn voice and text navigation to help guide a driver to his destination.

Other features of the Mio DigiWalker C220 include directions given in English, French or Spanish, an anti-glare, 3.5-inch display, a battery which offers up to four hours of use between charges, a weight of 3.88 ounces and USB support.

“The explosive popularity of the Mio DigiWalker C310x during the holiday season and early this year demonstrates the demand for quality portable navigation devices at a reasonable price,” said Kiyoshi Hamai, North American sales director, Mio Technology Ltd, in a statement. “We are confident that the Mio DigiWalker C220 will follow in the C310x’s footsteps; exceeding consumers’ expectations without breaking the bank.”
