"Widescreen GPS Navigator For Concise And Clear Directions"
By Mendelson Tiu | Published:06/08/2007
A new widescreen navigator from Mio that has tons of features besides its built-in navigation system has arrived to address the demand for larger and clearer GPS devices. This new generation of in-car navigation system aims to give everyone the most up-to-date maps and accurate directions available, resulting to shorter travel times. Add features like an audio player, a picture viewer, a contacts directory and Bluetooth capabilities to a GPS device and you get the new DigiWalker C520 from Mio – a 4.3-inch GPS device that mums and dads can rely on anytime, anywhere.
The Mio DigiWalker C520 is a stylish, thin, and lightweight in-car GPS device with its silver front, 19.9 mm thickness, and weight of only 190g. Its 4.3-inch Touchscreen LCD is exceptionally bright at its maximum setting and manages to stay visible even when exposed to direct sunlight.
But what sets this unit apart from other GPS devices is its split screen interface display that lets a user view routes, upcoming turns, and even nearby point-of-interests. The idea is simple – users will be able to see the navigation map on ¾ of the screen, while features like time and speed, nearby POIs, or next four turns are displayed on the rest of the screen. Of course, this really depends on the user and what he/she wants to see on the smaller part of the screen. But for us, the option that we often used was the turn display. The DigiWalker C520 runs on Windows CE Core 5.0 and uses MioMap with the latest Sensis R14 mapping software pre-installed, giving you a powerful guide for the road ahead.
