    CNET Review

    June 19, 2007

    The Good: The Mio C520 GPS device offers a thin and sleek design with a spacious touch screen. The system also has text-to-speech functionality, integrated Bluetooth, and multimedia capabilities.

    The Bad: The C520 was slightly off the mark when tracking our location, and route recalculations weren't always efficient. In addition, the Bluetooth and multimedia features are slightly limited in functionality.

    The Bottom Line: The sleek Mio C520 is a good-value GPS device, packing in advanced navigation features, a large screen, and other extras for an affordable price. However, you can get a better user experience and smoother performance from competing systems.

    Review Summary: Like the TomTom�€™s and Garmins of this world, the Mio has no buttons other than the power button: all inputs are via the touchscreen. And this is where we get to the charm of this device
