Mio C220
The Mio C220 is a value model follow-up to the popular Mio C310x that made a big splash in the market during the holiday shopping craze of 2006. The Mio C220 comes with a 3.5-inch touchscreen, and a SiRF star III chipset. The unit does not support Text to Speech, but does give verbal turn by turn commands. The mapset is for the entire US, not Canada, and fits nicely on the included SD card. The POI dataset is a decent size, coming in at 3.5 million points. The POI points have phone numbers for the locations. The mapset is the newer TeleAtlas maps that have made a big step in adding roads to get it up to date.
The Mio C220 was launched into US stores just before it was announced in April 2006.
