How do I download the latest maps for my Mio 310.
January 15th, 2009 at 1:18 am
how do i update my mio gps 320c for south africa
January 21st, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Hi!
I live in Virginia(US) and a GPS equipment without map update is ZERO, waste of money.
Please, my Mio 320C needs a map update.
Help me, please!!!
January 28th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
I have a MioC310 and I would like to have an update version of the pressent soft ware.
February 2nd, 2009 at 7:46 pm
I have a Mio 200. I`m still waiting for the 2009 map updated. Yes, I will like to have this the soon as possible. Because, my GPS is getting me lost with the directions.I travel a lot. Now I have to travel again. I register on November 2008 & Never get the webserver with my updated. I do check also the spam folder & I still don`t get it.
February 6th, 2009 at 5:33 am
This realy sucks , so they only update the new products. I will never buy a MIO again if this is the attitude of MIO. What about the people that supported and paid good money for they pervious products like MIO C510.
February 6th, 2009 at 5:35 am
Let me explain how to get you OLDER MIO upgraded with proper maps with 100% correct speed indications.
!!!!!! Buy a Garmin !!!!!!!
April 16th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
This is crazy – I bought a mio c520 last year figuring I’d have an update by now – and it seems as though they aren’t even offering an update for this product. That is complete nonsense and a great way to go bankrupt because I for one will never buy an Mio product for the rest of my life – and I buy quite a few electronic gadgets. Mio is a horrible company!
April 17th, 2009 at 12:19 am
I have the Mio moov 200, which im sure is the same as the one in the picture. I bought it in the states, now i need a south african map. where can i buy these maps? and maps for golf courses? any idea?
April 21st, 2009 at 2:17 am
How do i download the update for mio? i want the new south african maps.
April 25th, 2009 at 8:27 am
I purchased a GPS MIO 320 on April 21 from 6avenue store in Hackensack Nj it came with a CD and the maps are 2007 There is any upgrade right now ? I see you offer free upgrade for many models exept for my unit .Thank you Vincent Zullo
May 14th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
I’m looking for GPS map of Namibia for MIO C310
May 18th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
I TOO PURCHASED A MIO 200 (IN NOV 2008) AN AM STILL WAITING ON MY FREE UPDATE. I EMAILED THEM LAST WEEK ASKING THEM TO FOLLOW UP ON THEIR PROMISE. NO RESPONSE. I ONLY CONTRACT I’VE HAD FROM THEM WAS THE INITIAL EMAILED CONFIRMING MY REGISTRATION. NOTHING SINCE. BETTER PULL YOUR SOCKS UP MIO OR YOU’LL BE DECLARING BANKRUPTCY TOO.
May 21st, 2009 at 1:14 pm
I was told i would receive a 2009 mio map update
on may 20, By e-mail, and as of yeat i have not
received it.
May 23rd, 2009 at 7:53 am
Received the April e-mail stating the update would be released May 20 2009. Yesterday (May 22 2009) I received this from Mio:
………………………………………….
Dear Valued Customer,
Last month we announced that the Mio Map Update download and DVD would be available May 20, 2009. Regrettably, there will be a delay as a result of technical issues. We are in the process of resolving these issues to ensure your experience is the best possible.
On Wednesday, May 26, we will send you an email with a firm date for the availability of the Mio Map Update (we expect it will be ready in approximately 3 weeks). We appreciate your patience and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Regards,
The Mio North America Team
………………………………………….
So, it looks like it will be the end of June before we see anything.
June 8th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
I have a Mio C320, South Africa maps are totally out of date (2007), i have now realised I made a big mistake in purchasing it, which at the time was a great buy.
Garmin is the way to go people, well at least for their after sales support. I have it now installed on my Nokia 5800 XM with 2009 maps.
June 11th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
MIO C520 purchased in 2008. The package said there would be a free update. I received an email from MIO giving links to the update. Nothing works!! Although the email says nothing about which model the update is for it is obviously not for the C520. Spent half a day on the computer with a map update and links that were useless. Thanks MIO for Nothing!!! Never deal with this company, they are either frauds or incompetant!!
July 5th, 2009 at 6:07 am
When will be a free map update available?
July 5th, 2009 at 11:17 am
I’ve mio 220. Where can I find maps?
July 25th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
WHAT THE CRAP!!!!!!! This is proposterous! Listen world! NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, BUY A MIO. I drove from NB, Canada to AB, Canada and the stupid thing gave me wrong directions a DOZEN TIMES! On main highways that have been around for years. It took me right through the center of Thunder Bay instead of the highway that goes around it… an hour detour that would have been avoided if i had’ve just used a stupid map! Listen mio! Time for a stupid update for my 200c or things are gonna happen!
July 27th, 2009 at 10:05 am
I have C320b model which I bought on the 2nd of April, 2009. The maps seems to be outdated, how can I update it?
August 10th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
In Spain it is the same. They promised updates before July. They have NOTHING about updates. I thing it is a company drop.
August 12th, 2009 at 3:18 am
Do not trust this company. I am still waiting for updates to my Mio C520. I know I will never receive it, but I will have the last laugh because I will never buy their products again and will tell family and friends not to buy their products.
September 1st, 2009 at 7:00 am
You must have received a free update key to be able to install the maps.
September 7th, 2009 at 2:10 am
Yes people,never buy a MIO product,I too was told I will be able to get map updates.Never gonna happen{I have a 310c}They posted it on their web site…it has since been removed lol What a crap company.What good is a 300$ gps with maps that are so outdated you can’t find your way…..I tell everyone I know{and all my customers} to NOT buy a mio…I’ve told this to about 500 people.I will never buy another product this company makes as long as I live.
September 7th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Bought and registered a Mio C510 at end 2008 on the understanding there would a free map upgrade at end of July 2009… Early september and still not a single word so far
Very poor performance – as others have said, it seems we should take our custom elsewhere when it is tome for us to purchase our next GPS units
Prospective Mio customers beware…
September 8th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Need to register? Where?
What kind of information this post is?
Where I have to register?
My Mio makes a lot of navigation problem. Have to update!
September 10th, 2009 at 7:09 am
I have a 520C. No update available. MIO NEVER DELIVERS. A decent company would give out a free map upgrade along with apologies for past inaction.
There is a post yet again promissing an update for the 520C at the end of September. IT WON’T HAPPEN. Crush them this Christmas buy not buying their products. Be sure to spread the word.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:32 am
So does any one have an update on the Mio 200 map update? I was in a new area this week and the thing just went Berzerk as if I was on a football field! Please if anyone has some news, let us know! Thank you!
September 21st, 2009 at 2:55 pm
I’m glad to see others have trouble with Mio. I have a 500. I have been trying to get the update. The Product code they send me does not work. The have not returned my last to emails. When I went for on line help they disconnected the chat and would not resume it. I tried several times. After reading these comments I’m thinking “Class Action”.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:38 am
Dear Sir/Madame,In July 2007 I bought in Romania a GPS Mio C720 with all maps of Europe, East Europe included.Now I wish to update these maps.Please inform me how can I do this for free.
Best regards,
Petru
September 30th, 2009 at 4:27 am
I bought a mio 320 with good reviews from one of my friends. Most gps companies do automatic updates over the internet by simply hooking their gps to their computer. This is horrible that they do not have maps for my 320. The map is so outdated that I can’t really trust where it’s taking me anymore.
This company is horrible and I will NEVER buy another MIO product again!
October 3rd, 2009 at 8:53 am
Hi, I have a Mio 510E and have been looking to Mio for a map update. Three emails produced no reply from them. I telephoned in September 2009 and was promptly informed that they have no such product number! I persisted and the reply was that I should purchase a new device! I will, but it definatly will not be a Mio or Navman. What disgustingly poor product support.
October 10th, 2009 at 5:09 am
I will also never buy a Mio product again unless they enable me to buy a map upgrade for my C220. If they do not offer map upgrades, the value for money of this product is very poor. ANd I bought this assuming maps could be kept up to date, or I would never have bought it at all.
October 12th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Hi
I jushed purchased Mio Moov 300 with maps of Israel
In few days I am going to Sicily. How can I get GPS maps for Sicily downloading it from the internet or buying it in Israel.
I appreciate immediate reply.

October 13th, 2009 at 8:37 am
I have MIO map 2009 for all models 200-c3x0x GPS/Digiwalker will give away free. If anyone want to say thank just send me some good links I love movieee.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
I have a Mio C510 and have not been able to update since new. Very poor service from Mio.
I find product excellent and would like to upgrade maps rather than replace G.P.S.
Unfortunately MIO offer only a credit if you return your old G.P.S.
New product is available locally at cheaper price.
Get your act together MIO
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:59 am
I have a MIO C720 with outdated software (2007). I’ve been searching the net for days for an update and found nothing. Just phoned Tudor who have taken over mio in South Africa and the guy tells me ‘you probably going to want to shoot me, the update is only coming out end of next month (November 2009) and it will cost u R1100.00!!! Told him he can stuff his damn MIO i’ll rather take that money and buy a GARMIN and get FREE UPDATES FOR LIFE! MIO SUCKS!!! I am going to throw this piece of crap into the dustbin. Stay very far away from these THIEVES!! GARMIN HERE I COME
October 26th, 2009 at 11:24 am
I have a Mio Moo 300c and have the Canadian Map, however I need the US map do you where I can get this?
November 5th, 2009 at 6:43 am
we have all agreed that MIO have made false claims regarding updates, so now the question is, is there any legal action we can take collectivley. that way we may be able to force them to honour their contract ??
any lawyers out there want to help ?
November 7th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
need help updating mio 500.What website do i need to go to!
November 12th, 2009 at 5:53 am
Need help i want to updating my Mio C230 want the free updates website
November 12th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Hi,
I have a mio with maps for benelux, need a map for south africa, but…
where can I buy this map?
I can’t seem to find them anywhere, please help.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:30 am
Hey LTT, how do we get in touch with you to get the Mio Moov 200 2009 maps for Canada and US?
Tks,
Raymond
November 18th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Hi,
I am from South Africa, and purchased a MIO C520 at the beginning of 2008 with November 2007 software and maps. Since then there has been no updates. Can you imagine if an overseas tourist with a Mio visits South Africa in 2010 for the football world cup. It is as good as owning a brick.
MIO is a CRAP company.
November 19th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Got a Mio C520 several years ago for B-day. Maps were 2 years old when I got it. Now they are over 4 years old, and still waiting for a map update. Can’t remember details about customer service other than I remember trying hard to get info outta them, with no results. MIO SUCKS. 10 million budget on marketing, 10,000 dollars on support. Companies like this need to go outta business. Check their support page for the map update, LOL, supposedly updated the page a month ago, saying they are still having technical issues, been that way for over 2 years now. Nice that you have time to make it look like it’s a new issue.
November 21st, 2009 at 12:36 am
Need C220 maps upgrade for Australia. Anyone knows a weblink that I can get upgrade for free?
Thanks, Tad
November 22nd, 2009 at 6:04 am
I’m very disappointed in the purchase of the mio c510. I’ve discouraged 100s of prospective customers to invest with GARMIN, and will continue to do so. The Garmin 200 is 100% better than the mio I own.
Mio, no service = unhappy customer = next purchase Garmin.
November 25th, 2009 at 9:38 am
Yeah, there is no point of buying Mio again and get lost a few months after you bought it because It won’t find the new addresses added on the map. Did you see how many new buildings and roads are out there every day? How does Mio expect people to not get lost if they don’t provide new maps? Not even for buying!
November 25th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
i have a mio bought at bureau en gros and promise me that they would up grade it but still waiting
November 29th, 2009 at 8:08 am
After being promised map updates for 1 year and trying and looking for these updates, I realize I am wasting my time.
December 5th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
I am from South Africa and purchased a Mio C510 in 2007. The map software was changed to Route 66 by the supplier and to date there is no updates available. This is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever bought and will definatley not support Mio again in the future. How many innocent people are being caught all over the world by Mio’s free updates for life.
December 8th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I purchased a mio 500 in 2008 with the free 2009 U.S. upgrade. I was notified that it would be ready in May of 2009. I have not heard anything else from you. I would like to update my GPS Thank You
December 9th, 2009 at 8:33 am
I recently purchased this GPS for my wife who has been very reluctant to embrace the technology. After giving her a short tutorial and a drive around the block I set her off to her own devices. When see returned from a recent day of Doctors appointments, shopping and other errands, she commented on how easy it was to use to find addresses and stores. She also found the ability to used her phone basically hands free via blue tooth very helpful. I would buy this item again.
December 10th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Wow I didn’t know the extent of how crappy MIO is. They are junk. It had points of interest for stores that have been in my area for many years but told me to travel 100+ miles instead. Also told me to turn into a corn field and away from an on ramp to get to where I needed to be on.
You get what you pay for. MIO outsources its updates to other providers, therefore they will always have poor support for older models if you think 1 year is old?!
December 16th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
To the employee of Mio, Victor M. you need to ask Obama for a hand out Mio needs to stop ripping people off and close up.
December 17th, 2009 at 9:08 am
Just registered my new MIO but I can’t find anywhere in their site to download free map updates! They only care to sell…
December 18th, 2009 at 12:12 am
I have a MIO Digi Walker ( C520)
I find it difficult to use. I definitely need an update. A lot of roadworks have taken place in Melbourne.
How do I get an upgrade.
December 19th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Same problem, I bought a C520 a year ago. No updates available and half the time I’m driving in a field adjacent to the highway! Mio sucks, next time I’ll invest in Garmin quality product. Chances are, MIO will be bankrupt in a year or so anyway… be my guess!
December 23rd, 2009 at 1:13 pm
I have a amcor 3900 which need a map upgrade I recently found out that the mio and amcor share the same software . How much would it cost me to update the maps every year and where do I go to do so? Thank You. Wes
December 25th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
I bought a c520 a couple years ago and im wondering how i get the updates for the map?
December 29th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
I Purchased a Mio C320 It took them 0ver 12 months to send me a 2009 update, their excuse was that the software written in China was faulty. I eventually got it in March this year. Also the battery in the Mio C320 barley lasted 12 months and now to use it I have to leave it permanently on the car charger and cannot take it portable as the charge lasts less than 1/2 hr. Not impressed.
I am going back to Tom Tom.
January 1st, 2010 at 3:09 pm
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.
January 6th, 2010 at 3:27 am
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 !!!
January 8th, 2010 at 10:08 am
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?!
January 18th, 2010 at 7:28 am
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.
January 19th, 2010 at 2:57 am
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.
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:00 am
please get me the link,i wanna update my mio gaps
by 2008 by new version,ive been taring for long through net,but not yet,find,please telll me all steps please please
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:22 pm
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.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:37 pm
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.
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:41 pm
I purchased a Mio DigiWalker C510 a few years ago and desperately need an update on th map software. The device has worked quite well for me, but it is currently rather ineffective due to the outdated maps, especially since so much has changed in South Africa.
Where can we get the updated maps?
February 6th, 2010 at 4:39 am
I would like to know if there is any costs to updating the latest maps to my C310 Mio Car Navigation.
Where can i go to download these maps and how do i do it.
February 9th, 2010 at 7:28 am
Thanks Mio for nothing. Realy disapointed!
I will never do busines with you. I have a C720. Map update policy sucks!
Crap company!
February 13th, 2010 at 11:24 am
Mio is just lying to you all. This is one of their saletricks Free Update. It is a scam.
Next time, buy a Tomtom or sim
February 15th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Hi all,
Pls can some one help me to put map for Iraq on my GPS MIO-c210

February 18th, 2010 at 8:31 pm

February 20th, 2010 at 10:57 am
still waiting for my update since feburay 2009
i enroll 2 time and call suport….
still they ignore me“““““ why buy a mio
March 3rd, 2010 at 5:10 pm
This is the most disappointing piece of crap that I have ever spent hard earned money on. I tried to do the best for my family but when a company like mio takes advantage of you, its easy to lose faith in the way a company does business. Its a shame and an embarrassment. Shame on them. They are thieves and I would be in on a class action law suit. Please let me know if one arises. Thx, Leland
March 9th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Why is it so hard to get an update for my 610 handheld? I have resorted to Google maps and pen and paper. Truly, customers should not have to endure such poor service. Get your act together or stop selling what you can not support.
March 10th, 2010 at 11:39 am
where can i get updates(free) for mio digi walker v3.3 aug. 2007
and how can i make my gps, read numbers for as locations like (1234567 and 1234567,) instead of
street name and adderess
May 8th, 2010 at 6:47 am
Dear Mio representative,
I was not able to find a link in the net for Israeli MIO support.
For about 2 weeks I am trying to get a pin for my car- charger connection using your Israeli representative. Unfortunately until know I didn’t get a positive reply.
In the “BUG” shop in Israel they told me that I can buy a new charger, I think we deserve a better service.
I like to mention that the pin in MIO car- charger can be easily lost because it is connected by a screw which can be easily opened by a normal use.
Hope to get your opinion ASAP
Best regards,
Dr. E. Farber
May 17th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
I have just bought a Mio Moov 200 today and the map is 2008. I can’t download an update as I consistently get an error on 32% of download. I can’t find the link on their website to apply for a free serial. The GPS also shows me as being 70m from where I actually am standing. Further moving in a block of 50m by 50m makes absolutely no difference in my position. The damn thing does’nt even show which direction I’m facing. It only shows that I’m facing West. You can’t even put a marker/waypoint on the f****** thing! This is typically South Africa, all the crap that can’t be sold overseas is shipped here. What a piece of crap!!!!! I’ll be returning it tomorrow.
May 20th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
to all that are looking for a battery for there mio’s i found superetrader.co.uk sold me battery for my c510e cost was only £5.10p deliverd may be worth a try battery part number is 10044-938 still looking for map update will post if i ever find one
May 21st, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I just got the Mio Moov M301 and used their “LIVE HELP” needless to say, that’s I found this! site. Searching for MAP UPDATES!!!! Ahhhh, this product has map data that must be 5 years old and yet they claim it’s from 2009 and there are no updates available.
I VOTE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! THIS IS BS!
This GPS shows me in grass fields and jumping highways because its trying to relate to the existing data.
People rely on these for reliablw data, it could cause somebody to get lost or go into headon traffic. Our service roads went one way! HELLO!!!
GOOGLE my fkn area MIO fk I even offered to help if I could, instead the live help gave up after determining no map data would be currently available.
GPS are a luxery item untill they are dependant upon for true and accurate information. Off side or head on collision anyone?

July 19th, 2010 at 5:18 am
I have a Mio C720 for about 3 years. Good product (hardware), horrible after-sales customer service! No map updates available, lousy reactions from the MIO customer service team! For the guys still considering to buy a new MIO device – please, think twice!
July 23rd, 2010 at 2:26 pm
terrible company I can not get any help

I’d really like to update my Mio C220s. Is it possible to update USA and Canada maps? Please advise.
August 19th, 2010 at 11:59 am
My MIO C520 still has the original 2007 North American map system, it definitly needs updating.
Now, the question is: WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO ISSUE A NEW UPDATED ONE?
On reading some of the posts on this forum, it seems the most pertinent question. Your inactivity in this area is leaving a lot of people pissed off, worldwide. Costumer loyalty is at an absolute zero as most are turning away from your product and into the arms of competitors.
That’s not a good way to conduct business!!
Waiting for an answer regarding that mapping sytem upgrade.(Not holding my breath, though. Blue doesn’t fit me that well))

I bought a mia moov 200 here in South Africa about 2 months ago. It doesn`t even show the street i live in or the road. The road has been here since before i came to this town in 1960`s & the other roads that came about later as the town grew are on the GPS?????? The major towns are not to badly out of date, but its the smaller places that need attention. So could you please tell me where i can get the latest update of 2008/9 maps that are suposed to be installed on my GPS??????
Hope i get a response soon.
September 4th, 2010 at 3:48 am
I have mio c720.How can i update the maps throgh the internet?
September 8th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
I bought my Knight Rider Canada 310 GPS. I have been trying to look for map update, softwares and no where to find one. Instead of finding MIO’s updates I found GARMIN..it’s a ripped off buying mio’s GPS and no updates. I recommend to the entire planet not to buy MIO’s products. Buy GARMIN… it is the best and updates are available for life.
September 12th, 2010 at 9:13 am
i’d like to to update usa and canada maps for mio500 also i’d like to get maps for europe
October 5th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
I sent my Mio 230S for repair 2 times to Texas. Still have the same problem. Addresses off by 850 meters, points of interest at wrong place, tells me to turn left when it clearly indicates to turn right, full of wrong indications etc. etc. I noticed that 2 La Source store (formely Radio Shack)in my town don’t sell Mio anymore; too many problems. So, I scrapped my Mio and came back to Garmin. Same with my wife’s GPS and I NEVER recommend Mio.
October 13th, 2010 at 1:43 am
Only a fool will buy a Mio GPS, map updates are only rumors since nobody seems to have ever encountered any of them, including myself. Class action law suite perpaps??
October 20th, 2010 at 2:21 am
Please could you help,i have a mio c230 and would like to update my maps,i have a mac and need help finding a site that supports downloads for mac,regards Rick
October 29th, 2010 at 3:20 am
I need new upgrade the software on my MIO C320, please can someone help me.
Thanks
October 29th, 2010 at 3:52 am
Desperately need new software & maps for my MioC320 GPS
November 16th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
I think we must blame also Companies as Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc, making profits with this junk device, knowingly there is not update available. Selling this device should be considered a fraud. I invite any Attorney to study the possibilites to start a Class Action sue against Mio and the retailers that sell this garbage. I would be the first one to sign on.
November 17th, 2010 at 9:27 am
hi
how can i download the latest maps for my c520??
pls guide me how…
thaks in advance
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:14 am
I just bought a used mio moov 500 and need to update. How can I do this?
November 27th, 2010 at 1:46 pm
have the c320. it does suck. maps out of date. no easy fix.. would have little confidence even if it were updated (maps). it seems that being on the recieving end of a crap company, is becoming the norm. mio should just let customers swap thier past junk for thier present decent model. a bad gps is extremely dangerous.. making bad decisions at 70 miles per hour. they broke it( by not having updates ) the should fix it.. always by the best youll never be disapointed.. on a scale of 1 to 10 this device is a minus 10 because of the danger it puts its customers in.. worse case scenario new driver late at night snow ice etc.. live and learn..
December 10th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
I need to update the maps on my c320. I work EMS and someones life may depend on it, Does anyone know of where I can find this? Please help.
December 24th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
How can I find free map update for my Mio C510 ? Please somebody help me, it’s urgent!
December 28th, 2010 at 11:58 am
I’ve had a c520 for about 3 years. Performs poorly with difficult navigation and I’ve NEVER been able to get updates. Maps were a year or two old on the GPS when I purchased it new. MIO is CRAP.
January 17th, 2011 at 12:43 am
I have a Mio C220 GPS which needs an update. It is only about 60% effective, please help with the update. I am prepared to pay whatever is required. Nothing works on the Mio website.
January 19th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Nice blog!
Thanks
January 22nd, 2011 at 1:10 am
MIO GPS sucks!!!!..Specially their Customer Support!!! NEVER EVER get a MIO GPS guys!!!!! Please MIO guys stop using the claim that you are the industry leader in GPS!!!
January 22nd, 2011 at 1:13 am
I was asking for map updates from this MIO guys…and you know what their reply was???” G back to where you bought your unit because they were the ones (not MIO) who preloaded them with maps???…say what???? Hey guys at MIO Technical Support, you are being paid to be just couch potatoes staring at your PCs the whole day???? Pathetic MIO technical support people!!!
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:33 am
These MIO guys just want to sell out units!! Once they have sold you one you are ON YOUR OWN!!! Don NOT expect any map updates… What a RIP-OFF!!!!
February 6th, 2011 at 9:06 am
Sorry, I didn’t believe you guys until I tried to get a map update for my 320. Mio told me that there wasn’t an update but they would sell me another unit at a discounted price. That was months ago and I am still waiting. They must think that I live in a tree.
February 14th, 2011 at 8:41 pm
HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP
Is there a hacker out there who can hack the Mio product and convert maps from other GPS devices to run on a Mio C220 Digiwalker?
I also have been having trouble in getting a single update for 4 years. I purchased a Samsung Mobile Phone, the Mio C220 was bundled with the phone, I was told at the time to go to the Mio web site to get the updates, and they were FREE yerrrr right.
Only free stuff I got was FREE GRIEF, and YEARS OF IT.
I can see by all the posts here that there are a lota people really ANGRY at Mio, and I don’t blame them one bit.
Hey, MIO, do you even care about you product you make and sell, by your extreme lack of responces to all the above persons, the answer is a LOUD NO- ZERO.
It’s about time some technical person hacked into the Mio and posted some fixes, how to download and get a different map to work on their Mio’s.
Mio don’t want to provide updates for their products, so lets see if there is someone else who might be able to.
February 14th, 2011 at 9:29 pm
Hey good news everyone.
A little googling took me to
http://www.heroturko.org/m/mio-digiwalker-c220-map-update-australia-2010/
I don’t know if it works, all the files offered are up around the half a gig in size.
Personally I would download and burn it to CD, but I havent seen any other up to date software for the Mio past 2007, and this is up to 2010.
Also try for mio digiwalker c220 map update australia 2010 Hotfile Rapidshare
also you might try rapidog.com/mio-c220-maps-australia-rapidshare.html
I also discovered a hack where someone was able to make his MP3 player work with his C220
He has two screens avaliable on start up to pick from.
I have not downloaded any of the above software and have not tried any out, so If you want to try it for your selves, don’t blame me if you have trouble with your Mio device.
February 28th, 2011 at 12:04 am
i bought my mio model no. n177 about 4 maybe 5 years ago. i have no problems with it thank god at all. i just need to update it. well not really, but id like to. if i could find out how, it would be great
March 12th, 2011 at 2:18 am
I got my mio gps for Christmas 2008 and haven’t been able to get a map update yet. I too contacted their customer support and got them same amount of assistance as everyone else on this blog. I cannot believe that they haven’t had updates for any of their products since 2008, and they consider themselves and industry leader? In what? GPS failure? I will be looking for a new GPS soon and believe you me it WON’T be a mio.
March 12th, 2011 at 8:04 am
hellow i was wery happy with my gps c520 but i dont have the malta urope maps so i can not uset it can you pleas sand the update for the hole urope including malta thanks anthony from malta.
March 16th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
I would also like to know how to update maps. I’m not sure if I bought mine in 2007 or 2008. You think they would come out with updates every yr.
April 22nd, 2011 at 2:23 pm
I have a Moov 500 but this unlock should work on any CE Mio device. It’s called Mio Pocket and it’s located at http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=136798
It not only allows you to run other win ce software on your GPS (music, games, calculator, etc.), it also allows you to run other GPS softwares (iGO, Tom Tom, etc.) on it. These other GPS softwares have map updates and it works pretty good.
As a Moov 500 user I could only get rev 61 and lower to work but you may have better luck with more up-to-date revisions.
April 26th, 2011 at 4:49 am
GPS services are really adds great value to find something and if it’s got free what else someone need.
May 4th, 2011 at 8:59 am
Hello …
I Teo, I have a Mio C520 GPS and I have a problem with him
Last year, if you can please help me …
I received from a friend, and you have given me
cigarette lighter charger, but it went in GPS support
him, than directly in the camera. I used it without support,
but at a time when you get in the socket (the lighter
car), I show that is connected to the computer and does not
I can do nothing if it goes out of the socket, but not
I still keep the battery. I read on forum that does not work if
charger is not original, but I went! Now
May go suddenly.
Thanks!
May 16th, 2011 at 7:14 am
This company do not care for their customers after we spend our good money for their products i have been trying to update my mioc320 for three years now and cannot do it and have reached out to mio a few times and got the run around my next step is to contact the BBB to get help in my opinion no one should buy their products because the producs are outdated as soon as you buy them and with no help from the company.
May 24th, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Hi My mio C320 is not working anymore how do i update the maps back i really need it please help a.s.a.p
May 30th, 2011 at 7:52 am
I am in the boat as everyone else here. I bought a C520 in 2007, and it was completely outdated probably before I had received it. Now being in 2011 is 4 years plus outdated and Mio website or Customer Service do NOT offer any available option for updating their products. Since 2009 I have been using my cell phone GPS as it gets updated automatically and free through the cellphone service. I will NOT/NEVER recommend anyone to buy ANY Mio product. This ASHAMED company will not provide any type of FREE or even PAID updates for ANY or ALL of the products they offer and/or sell. Please do yourself a big favor and do NOT EVER buy this brand at all.
June 8th, 2011 at 7:17 am
MIO is the best at giving you the run-around, trying to update the latest map into you Mio GPS. We like our moov300, but any new address is of no use, and roads are changing and no way to update that I can find. I’ll buy a TomTom or Garmin next time. MIO could be a good company, but they’ve chosen not to be. A loser, in the end.
July 24th, 2011 at 1:13 pm
I have Mio Moov 400.But i cant find how to updates..its describes only for Germin n it is easy to updates for Germin…Mio is just like a trash.
July 24th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
Bought a clearance model at Radio Shack. Should have known turned it on it worked one day would not restart. Believe cheap switch culprit but who knows its made in china. Cheap crap do not buy.
July 30th, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Bought A Mio C520t in 2007 and 4 years not one single map update. Company has no backup..If you want to feel lost or get lost,get a Mio, because screen will show you driving through feilds most of the time. Mio is just an expensive road atlas.
NEVER BUY A MIO/NAVMAN or any of there products that need updates, because they dont do updates.
August 31st, 2011 at 10:09 am
bought a mio moov 200 about 3years back and now it must be charging all the time for it to work.also i will like toknow how i go about updating the mio 200
September 12th, 2011 at 6:14 am
I bought MIO C 520 in 2008. I’m from BULGARIA and it was very expensive at this time ( 500 Euro ! ). I bought it because they said it has voice in BULGARIAN (not only the interface). After i bought it , I realised thatthe map for BULGARIA is so poor that even some of the towns with 100 000 people were not OK with the roads. The MIO guided me through the most stupid ways You could go if want to get somewhere. It became, that i know more roads in BG than the stupid device! The same situation in GREECE ! According to the c520 i was in the middle of a corn field and not on one of their main city roads… and so on, and so on.. I expected to get a MAP update until now , but i couldn’t find any update (not for Windows, not for the version of the software, not a singke new map!! ). Please, advise me what to do?
January 18th, 2012 at 5:49 am
no upgrade with this unit ,company are ripoff mechants
