I’ve had this unit for over a month and it has always got me where I needed to go. This was the most reasonably priced unit that has the text to speech feature which I was looking for, although sometimes it will mis-pronounce some street names. It pickes up the sattelite signal rather quickly and the sound is more than audible. If you are looking for a basic unit, you won’t go wrong with the C-230.
The small size of this device is a plus in many ways, but its tiny stature is also a negative. The small size sometimes makes it difficult for people with larger hands to operate it. Most of the controls of the C230 are accomplished through the use of the touch-screen display, and for people with larger fingers it may pose a problem. With any portable GPS device, though, it’s a delicate balance between portability and functionality. So this may not be a problem for some, but others may find it frustrating when using the cramped on-screen controls.
Speaking of the touch-screen display, Mio has put a nice 3.5 inch LCD screen in the C230. This screen is a big improvement over its predecessors display. The screen is nice and bright, and it offers a maximum resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. With a total of 64,000 colors, the Mio C230’s display sports vivid color that is very pleasing to the eye.
