Mio C520 Navigation Receiver
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 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 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.

Mio C520 Navigation Receiver
The last portable navigation system we reviewed from Mio Technology didn't fare so well in our tests. It's a shame, because the Mio C220 had so much going for it--affordable price, good performance, compact design--but its screen was a complete wash. ...

Mio DigiWalker C520
Although most portable navigation systems still have 3.5-inch touch screens, last fall, Garmin changed the market forever with the introduction of the nüvi 660, which featured a WQVGA 4.3-inch display. It followed up with the nüvi 680 at CES in ...
Large 4.3-inch screen. Sensitive 20-channel SiRFstar III receiver. Deep, searchable POI database with predefined national retailers. Includes multisegment routing and pedestrian profiles.
Bluetooth phone interface connected, but didn't work with our test phone.
Mio's latest widescreen, feature-packed GPS, the DigiWalker C520, is thin and stylish and offers a lot of bang for the buck. Though it's brimming with extras such as multimedia players, Bluetooth phone problems keep it from being a clear-cut winner.
The Mio DigiWalker C520 offers a lot of value for the money spent. Like Mio's other GPS products, the C520 uses TeleAtlas maps. When you first boot up the C520, the main screen presents you with eight icons: MioMap, Videos, Audio, Pictures, Mobile...

Mio C520 GPS receiver
Can Mio's widescreen give you the big picture?
Display, ease of use, size, Bluetooth
Cover, Postcode needs that space in between, Only one voice
We would still opt for the TomTom One XL, however we do like the split screen view championed in this design
Tech specs of the C520 include a 4.3-inch widescreen display with split-screen view, Tele Atlas maps (2007.1), Mio's MioMap v3 software, speed camera alerts for a year, Bluetooth so you can connect your phone and maps of 22 Western European...

Mio C520
Expressive, clever navigator would like to meet confident, slim-fingered driver for long drives and fun
Clear mapping. High level of information available
Slightly fiddly to use
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

Mio Digiwalker C520t
Flashnav!
Super screen; Fast route recalculation
No text-to-speech or bra size converter
A superbly speedy satnav
Mio's last satnav, the H610, had many virtues, including a handy bra-size converter, but was let down a little by its puny screen. That's a criticism that can't be levelled at the C520t, whose lissome front is dominated by a 4.3-inch touchscreen....
