The Mio C220 Auto GPS System is simple, straightforward, and very easy to use. It set the standard of what the basic navigation system should offer: latest Tele Atlas maps, speed camera alerts, points of interest, pedestrian mode, touch screen, voice guidance, TMC compatibility (TMC Receiver sold separately) and many other features.
Mio Map v3: Next Generation Navigation Software
Faster display, quicker route calculation, TMC sC22upport and speed (safety) camera warnings are only some of the new features of the MioMap v3. Don’t take us on our word - have a look for yourself at the real-speed videos and real screenshots of this all-new navigation software.
Newest Tele Atlas Maps
The C220 comes with the latest Tele Atlas map (2007.1) of one region pre-installed on internal flash memory. If you’re travelling within the region where you bought the C220, you have a full door-to-door* coverage of that region. To travel outside the region, you can purchase the full maps of 22 Western European countries, as well as maps of Eastern Europe, US and Canada. Adding those maps is incredibly easy – just pop the SD card into the slot on your C220!
You can choose between 16 different languages: Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish are all available - and you can even choose the voice you prefer for audio directions.
Simple, Intuitive Navigation
A crystal-clear 3.5″ touch screen, finger-sized buttons and new predictive keyboard make the C220 simple to use as well as easy to follow.
The Mitac Mio GPS C220 is designed to be as user-friendly as possible. Large on-screen buttons and clever predictive keyboard make it easy to enter a destination, whether by name or postal code (including full postal code in UK*).
All addresses you’ve used are stored as History, so you can go back to them whenever you want – and there are dedicated buttons for your own Home and Work addresses.
As you drive along, all the journey information you need is easy to see. Speed limits are shown wherever available – and you can also see estimated time of arrival, distance to go, battery, TMC and signal status.
