I upgraded from the Mio C220 and was quite happy with this item.

Pros: Huge screen, some POIs show branded icon, tons of POIs (3.5 million+), Interface is easy to use, Maps are from Aug 2008 or newer, street names are spoken, fast route calculation, multiple 2d/3d views, price.

Cons: Coming from a previous Mio model this is what I consider some of the downfalls:
First off there is some minor lag when entering text/clicking menus sometimes that is annoying. The refresh rate when traveling is not as smooth as the C220 was either. My guess for both of these issues is that since it has a bigger screen it takes more processing power to move images. Also the C220 I had had the ability to avoid road for 1,2,5,10,20,maneuver miles when on a route. The Moov 500 just has "avoid area" which is not really the same thing. Might be just me, but the avoid setup in the C220 was way better and easier to use. Finally traffic antenna is not built in. So even though you get a year free, you have to spend $99 on the antenna for the USB port to use it.

Final Thoughts: Overall however the Pros FAR outweigh the cons which I feel are rather minor. I bought one of these for my father and girlfriend and would recommend them to anyone looking for a good GPS. No GPS is perfect and the flaws this one has are quite minor compared to the other products out there. I like mine a lot and despite Mio's hard to understand middle eastern customer service reps I like their products a lot.

The absolute BEST buy that I have ever gotten on Ebay! I love the GPS and maybe won't get lost when I go somewhere now! My son and his wife bought the same thing on sale for $300.00! I was very thrilled to get mine for only $107.00!
