Mio DigiWalker C310x Personal GPS Navigation Device Review


The Mio DigiWalker C310x, an update of the C310 model, is Mio’s entry-level navigation device. It’s a pocket size device (4″ x 3″ x 0.7″) which at six ounces isn’t going to weigh you down. Despite being an entry level device, the Mio C310x does have the same reliable and accurate 20 channel SiRF Star III GPS receiver which powers more expensive models.


Mio C310x GPS

The Mio DigiWalker C310x is intended to provide navigation assistance whether you are on foot, cycling or driving. It is also a digital media device having a built-in MP3 player. The Mio DigiWalker C310x comes ready for use with pre-loaded TeleAtlas U.S. maps (50 states plus Guam and Puerto Rico) stored in 1 GB of internal memory. Navigation can be by address, coordinates or by selecting one of the more than 3.5 million points-of-interest also stored. Personal POI can also be entered into the database.

The C310x display is a 3.5″ TFT touch screen capable of displaying maps in 2D or 3D. Turn-by-turn navigation instructions can be obtained in one of 16 languages including English, Spanish and French. In addition to the touchscreen, other controls are the on/off, menu and volume up/down buttons on the right hand side of the device. Similar to most GPS navigation devices, it will automatically recalculate your route if you stray off the route determined.

For those on foot, Mio have included a track recording function so that your travels can be downloaded and displayed on a PC or uploaded to a social website for friends to view. For car use, the Mio DigiWalker 310x comes with a car mounting kit. Also included is a USB cable for loading music files or new map updates from a PC. For battery recharging there is an in-car charger provided. Note that an AC charger is not provided meaning that any recharging must be done in the car.

For a navigation device with more features have a look at the Mio H610.
