Mio have designed the H610 handheld navigation system to be a helpful companion in negotiating the urban environment. It’s an ideal traveler’s assistant, capable of locating business destinations, restaurants and other points of interest. The included WorldMate Travel Assistant software by Mobimate adds to the usefulness of the device with information-service mini-applications that can help organize and manage travel needs.

The Mio H610 has a 2.7 inch, QVGA (320 x 240 pixels), color, TFT touchscreen which is a reasonable size for a handheld navigation device. Powering the GPS functionality of the H610 is a 20-channel SiRFstarIII GPS Receiver Chipset which has the best performance in comparison to its peers including accuracy and the ability to lock onto GPS satellites even in poor signal reception areas (eg. urban jungles). The rechargeable Li-Ion battery will last 19 hours when the H610 is operating as a music player and 4.5 hours when providing GPS navigation.
