how do i update my mio gps 320c for south africa

I have a MioC310 and I would like to have an update version of the pressent soft ware.

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.

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!

How do i download the update for mio? i want the new south african maps.

I’m looking for GPS map of Namibia for MIO C310

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.

I have a Mio C320, South Africa maps are totally out of date (2007), i have now realised I made a big mistake in purchasing it, which at the time was a great buy.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.

When will be a free map update available?

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!

In Spain it is the same. They promised updates before July. They have NOTHING about updates. I thing it is a company drop.

You must have received a free update key to be able to install the maps.

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…

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.

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”.

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!

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.

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.

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

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 ?

Need help i want to updating my Mio C230 want the free updates website

Hey LTT, how do we get in touch with you to get the Mio Moov 200 2009 maps for Canada and US?

Tks,

Raymond

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.

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.

i have a mio bought at bureau en gros and promise me that they would up grade it but still waiting

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

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

hi i have mio gps how can i updet send more information and site please thanx

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

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

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.

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?

LAWSUIT<LAWSUIT<LAWSUIT

Remember, Mio bought Magellan, so another one to stay away from.

Sounds like the company is a scam, I have mio c230 digiwalker and I can’t get an update too. I have been tryin for some time too.

Thanks mio
for nothing..

I really7 like my Mio C220, however I need to update the USA maps, how can I do this? It is also possible to get Canada too? Please advise.

Please, where can I find the maps to MIO DIGI WALKER C 230.
Thanks.
