I think we all should talk to our congress men ,, and Senators ,, That this product is being sold with no warnings . That we have to pay for updates.When I bought this gps mio. I was told all the updates were free.It should have been posted on the box when it was sold.

I bought a mio,,2 years ago , Now I went to update it and now they want more money to do this update,If that is the case I will throw it out and get a good one , top of the line. and it wont be a mio,,And if I knew this when they sold this to me.I would not have bought this product. It should be by law, print’d on it that all updates cost more money.

I too own a Mio C520, and recently sent an email to MIO support requesting where I could download a map update … check the reply !
” Good afternoon, Thank you for contacting the Mio team. Unfortunately, the Mio C520 is no longer supported for mapping data updates or overseas maps. Due to technological advances in mapping data over the past few years, Mio are unable to supply map upgrades for our older units. The size of the mapping data is too great to be handled by the older hardware and we are unable to release map upgrades for these units. Rather than release an inferior product to our customers, we made the decision to supply our customer’s with a chance to purchase a brand new unit for a discounted price with full warranty. As a result we are offering our valued customers a trade-in to a new device at a discounted rate off RRP. All trade-in details are available via the Mio Online store at: http://aus.mio-store.com/ “.

What a shocker and insult of a reply ! Having worked in the technology realms for 15 years and customer service for 20, this is a sure recipe for MIO’s demise. Who will trust them with future prodct releases ?
And they had the hide to send me a customer sat survey. Enough said.
I’ll spend my money elsewhere.

I have tried calling Mio, noone is available to talk to (surprise, surprise), I can’t find the online chat on the website (if anyone knows where please tell me), and I finally called the Source where I bought it from (at a greatly discounted clearance price) and he said it’s the telltale sign of a company going bankrupt.

If I do find the online chat the person on the other end is going to get a f&*%ing mouthful.

I like the unit but a map update would be nice. If anyone gets anywhere with this please post.

We bought a MIO 500 model last year. My husband has tried to update it (several attempts) but none worked. No update now (and one free update supposedly came with the purchase of it) AND now we have no life in it when it is disconnected from the power source in the car, not an OUNCE of life for more than handing it to someone in the car much less letting them help to punch in some coordinates into it! What does ONE LIKE US do for a battery to this sub-rate instrument?!

I bought a 520 a couple of years ago, there is new roads, new freeways, highways and new residential estates, all i would like to do would be able to find them with this piece of shit and its outdated maps which will never see the light of day !!!! I will not be buying another one of these ever again, and will tell all my fellow sales reps to do the same !!! I hope you go broke as your company deserves it !! Cheers mate !!!

I am a police officer in memphis and I have been looking for a small chip that could be marketed as a home electronics locator if stolen for a reasonable price. I was thinking when the item is plugged in again would be the power source and a small antanna could be atached to the rear or under the item.I would love to be apart of that before it hits walmart. I was also thinking that the chip would not have to be as small as this one and would still sell like hot cakes at a reasonable price because that will make it a must have. HAY if it works it would also reduce burglary by 99 percent and make my job a lot easier LOL! email me back i want to know something soon.

i bought the knight rider gps over a year ago and still can’t find any updates for maps.
the mio website is very difficult to use and you can’t find anything you need on it.
