Mio R403 4.3" GPS Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I replaced a Mio C220 that I'd had for almost 5 years. It cost $180, but the R403 was $90. The configuration changes were much easier by comparison...more intuitive. If hardware and software has to be navigated via a 200 page manual, it's too complex(with the necessary exceptions, of course). A GPS should not be so complex a manual is necessary to read (to have, yes, but not forced to read). The navigation compared to the C220 is not better in the routes it chooses. The lane guidance is great and works without a problem. There will never be a GPS that will pick a route that is best because it is better than other choices. It will pick what is configured to be fastest, shortest, cheapest, etc.. One option that needs to be included is to exclude neighborhood streets.
I've tested it and found the C220 to more my liking, but it's broken and I'm not about to go "backwards". When I've chosen a different route then it gives, it doesn't endlessly try to re-route me back. It moves on as it should. I have navigation through my phone, but it's slower when going through city streets. I've missed turns because of that. I chose the Mio because I'd have one before and as it would turn out, the power adaptor for the C220 works for the R403 as well. There are not many details given here, because the liking of a GPS unit is fairly subjective.
