Summary: Great Product
Comment: Very good product. It works very well, fast to find signal, large screen. It is perfect on United States. In South America, for instance, you do not have maps for while. In this case you will have to use an older version of Miomap.

Summary: GPS
Comment: Pro: very satisfied with this product. Initial startup went well over the internet setting it up. Scrren is large and clear, voice is clear and on the money with directions so far.
Price purchased at was good. Recommend
con: initial startup when being used to locate signal seems a little slow

Summary: MOOV to a Garmin unit if you want GPS
Comment: The Mio MOOV unit was compact, with a bright screen and would be easy for travel. Unfortunately, that's where it left off. The touch screen cannot be calibrated and on the unit I had it required me to touch to the left and below the icon I needed. Try spelling when you can't tap the key properly! Once I did enter anything, it took quite a while to calculate the route, although it seemed accurate once it did. The response time after clicking an icon was very long, so I clicked multiple times on the icon, but the system thought I had clicked on subsequent screens and took me there so I could never figure out where I was in the menu. Garmin's NUVI unit is more resposive overall and is what I'm sticking with.

Summary: My husband LOVES his!
Comment: I researched GPS systems for hours before choosing this unit as a Father's Day gift for my husband. It is his 1st tracking device, but he has repeatedly commented on how much he loves it. He travels approximately 4 days per week, making stops along the way to see customers on a daily basis. A large portion of his territory is new for him, and he is unfamiliar with the locations of his customers' offices, so he is delighted not to have to pull over to consult a map, or sit in a client's parking lot mapping out his next stop. He found programming it simplistic, and it only took a few hours to put in his entire customer base. He loves that he can find Hooters along the way, as well as his hotel locations easily. He thought he could live without one, but now, he doesn't how he managed with only a map. I am just tickled I found a gift that not only surprised him, but one he actually likes! I plan to buy another for our son, and possibly one for myself.
I was concerned that this model had only 3.5 million POI's (points of interests), as opposed to 6 million which seemed to be more common among the other brands, but thus far, everything he was looking for has been stored within the unit. (Knock wood.)
If your husband/boyfriend has large hands, the 4.3" screen is a must. He barely has room to type as it is. (He wears a size 13 ring.)
We live in Florida, and he has no problem seeing the screen in the bright light. He does take it out of the vehicle when he's not in it, though, to prevent theft, so I cannot say how well it withstands heat. It does fit in his pocket. If you have never owned a GPS before, this one is a great one to try. It has only misled him 3 times out of perhaps 250-300, and it does have a "mind of its own". It thinks he should take an entirely different route home from certain locations than he prefers, and he said it does get quite insistent when you don't follow directions and turn around!
And one other feature it has that he really likes: It knows ALL of the breaks in the highway. It down't know which ones are illegal U-turns, but it alerts you to a break before you drive up on it, in order to double back, should a U-turn be allowed and needed.

Summary: Didn't have to open the instruction manual!
Comment: My daughter and I just completed a cross country road trip from Los Angeles to Connecticut. We took the Mio Moov out of the box and started using it right away. No manual needed! Neither of us had ever used a GPS, so it was fun finding out all the things it could do. We named it "Tom" after the voice we chose to use, and Tom helped us find good places to eat in little towns across the country just by typing in Main St in the town we were coming to. Usually, Main St was only 4-6 miles from the highway and the strip malls and fast food joints. We always found a great place to eat and enjoyed some local "color" too. The only minor flaw: several times, Tom told us the destination was on the right, when it was actually on the left. No biggie. All in all, a nice addition to our trip!
