Mio Store - Mio Power Plugs and Mio Map Upgrades

Mio has rolled out a new Mio Online Store where you can pick up a few needed accessories like Map Updates, extra power plugs and more. I have had a lot of readers write in about finding these types of things, as well as extra mounts, etc for the other car, and now you have a resource on the web to get them.

Full Press Release Follows.......

Mio Technology, a leading worldwide supplier of personal GPS navigation devices, has created a new point of interest - a collection of accessories for your Mio GPS. Mio now offers a variety of GPS accessories, including car and bicycle mounts, in-car chargers and GPS antennas, as well as map updates for some of the company's most popular devices. The products are available at Mio's new e-Store and from select retail and e-tail partners.

"We're constantly working to improve the Mio experience for our customers and to offer additional tools that make their Mio devices more functional and fresh," said Kiyoshi Hamai, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing at Mio Technology USA. "Whether you're always getting lost, or you've simply lost your car adapter, the Mio Technology USA e-Store can help."

Among the new products available from Mio Technology USA:

Just in time for summer road trips, Mio Map Update DVDs for the Mio C230 and C320, along with existing map updates for the Mio C310x and C520, provide travelers with recently-constructed roads, housing developments, restaurants and hotel information. In addition to the Mio e-Store, C320 map updates will be available at RadioShack and C230 map updates will be available at RadioShack and Circuit City locations.

The Mio GPS Antenna provides enhanced reception for many devices. A connector plugs into the antenna slot of the Mio GPS and delivers improved signals immediately.

Utilize the pedestrian mode capabilities found on many Mio models by attaching the device to your bicycle or scooter using the bicycle mount.

Available for all Mio GPS devices, an extra In-car Charger or Windshield Mount allows users to seamlessly switch between vehicles.

Mio device holders come in handy as an extra or replacement.

The Mio Dash Mount Disc gives users additional vehicle mounting options for their device.

Connect your Mio GPS device to your computer using the Mio USB Cable to activate a TMC subscription, transfer different text-to-speech languages using the MioMore™ desktop application, update map data sets and more.
