Mio launches DigiWalker C230
Posted by gasusan2005 on 09/27/07 in GPS
Mio Technology unveiled a new addition to its product line during the DigitalLife technology tradeshow. The Mio DigiWalker C230 is a compact, affordable and easy-to-use GPS navigator that includes pre-loaded maps of the U.S. and real-time text-to-speech directions, allowing drivers to ‘navigate by ear’ from door-to-door.
At an MSRP of $249.95, the C230 is perfect for newcomers to GPS navigation, or those looking to equip the entire fleet of family vehicles. Whether shopping for the perfect gift for an uncle who always gets lost, a student leaving home for college, or a spouse who frequently travels for business, the Mio DigiWalker C230 fits the needs of a broad range of consumers.
The C230’s text-to-speech functionality delivers timely voice prompts, calling out actual street names when making turns — “right turn onto Main Street” instead of “right-turn in 500 yards” — helping drivers keep their eyes on the road while driving. The C230 features a bright backlight and an
updated anti-glare display to offer clear maps and menus on sunny days. These features, paired with the latest map data and more than 1 million points of interest — including restaurants, hotels and gas stations — helps users find new hot spots in their neighborhoods and beyond, turning everyday travelers into modern-day explorers.
The Mio DigiWalker C230 comes pre-loaded with maps of the U.S. and more than 1 million point of interest locations, and is ready to operate out of the box in minutes with no computer set-up required. The C230 supports standard voice guidance in 16 different languages including English, French and Spanish.
