GPS Review: DigiWalker 269 GPS MP3 Player
The Mio DigiWalker 269 is a portable GPS unit that allows you to navigate turn-by-turn in car, or on foot. Not only does it navigate, it also plays MP3 audio files with its built-in player. Not bad in a little handheld device.
Overall sounds like a pretty good unit, but is missing some of the tweaks that may hold it back from being a great unit, like not being able to listen to MP3's and navigate at the same time. Despite this, there are a lot of good things to say about it.......
You can see our other postings on the Mio 269 for background: Announcement, and then first review from the Inquirer, also a pretty good overview and first hand review from DV Hardware.
"Overall I am quite impressed with the Mio DigiWalker 269. It never failed to get me from point A to point B without many hitches. The navigation software was intuitive and easy to use. All in all it is the perfect add on to anyone’s gadget arsenal. I would have liked it if the music could play at the same time as you are navigating, but it will have to do for now. I would have also liked it if I could program in a coordinate (latitude/longitude) to navigate to.
The battery power, which lasts around 4.5 hours according to Mio, was sufficient enough for me. I used the car charger and didn't walk for 4.5 hours straight, so I didn't notice a huge depletion in power in a short time.
All in all the Mio DigiWalker 269 is quite an impressive little navigation and audio unit."
