Get easy-to-follow voice-guided directions and access to over 3.5 million points of interest with the svelte, stylish Mio Moov 300, which features an extra-large widescreen 4.3-inch LCD for clearer text and more map on the screen. With pre-loaded maps of all 50 U.S. States and Puerto Rico, the Mio Moov 300 is ready to operate in minutes with no computer set-up required. Other features include 1 GB of internal memory, an SD/MMC memory card slot, and up to 2.5 hours of battery life.ptable align=right width=400 cellpadding=10trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/miomoov-300series-angle.jpg" border=0 align=top width=400 height=291brbrsmallibNever miss a turn with 3D indicators and clear voice turn-by-turn guidance./b/i/small/td/tr/tableThe Mio Moov 300 sports a 4.3-inch, square-shaped display (480 x 272-pixel resolution) with a bright, anti-glare screen for easy viewing in any environment. All the controls, buttons and menus accessed via the touchscreen have been optimized for ease of use and fast access to the features you use the most. If you know the address of your destination, you can use the software's address-entry wizard and its on-screen keyboard. You can also use the Multi-stop Trip Planner function if you're running several errands. The Moov 300 allows you to save up to 200 destinations in a favorites list for easy access to your most visited addresses and points of interest.pWhile most GPS devices will alert you that you are "about to turn left in 100 yards," the Moov 300 goes a step further and includes an advanced Text-to-Speech feature that reads the actual street name as your next turn approaches--enabling you to spend more time watching the road and less concentration on the GPS screen. pMio Moov devices feature the new SiRFInstantFixII GPS receiver, which deliver faster GPS signal locks so you can begin navigating as soon as you're ready to drive. The SiRFInstantFixII chip can find and lock a GPS signal in as few as five seconds during typical device start-ups, almost half a minute faster than other GPS devices. For users in cities where tall buildings can impede GPS signals--creating "urban canyons"--a fast signal requisition can be the difference between missing a turn and arriving on-time.pOther features include:ulliWith over 3.5 million points of interest, it's easy to find restaurants, gas stations, emergency assistance, hotels and more.liUnited States street-level maps are pre-loaded on the 1 GB internal memoryliSD/MMC memory card slot for additional map loadingliUSB port for connection to your PCliInternal speakerliDimensions: 5.1 x 3.3 x 0.7 inches (WxHxD)liWeight: 6.1 ounces/ultable align=center width=600 cellpadding=10trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/miomoov-screen-home.jpg" border=0 align=top width=300 height=174brbrsmallibThe Home screen./b/i/small/tdtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/miomoov-screen-map.jpg" border=0 align=top width=300 height=174brbrsmallibClear mapping directions./b/i/small/td/tr/tablepbReal-Time Traffic Alerts/bbrThe Mio Moov 300 is compatible with the optional Traffic Messaging Channel (TMC) subscription service, which can provide real-time updates on accidents, detours and construction that could delay or prevent drivers from reaching their destination.

While you can add this service to the Moov 300, the Mio Moov 310 comes equipped with TMC right out of the box.pbWhat's in the Box/bbrMio MOOV 300 GPS device, car mount, car power cord, software and documentation CD

 Good interface and design, poor data November 12, 2008
New Dad (Seattle)
I bought the Moov 300 because it was on sale for $150. At this price, its a bargain. The interface is excellent, its easy to use, and seems durable enough. However, my delight was gone when I tried to find some common points of interest (POI) and when I tried navigating from my office to home. Strangely, this unit had very few museums in it, which is strange because people like to visit museums when they are on vacation and more likely to use a portable GPS. It didn't list either the Children's Museum in Denver or the Denver Museum of Science and Nature, though it did list the Denver Zoo. This was a real deal killer. To top it off, it suggested 17-18 mile routes to my office, when my regular commute is 12 miles. I returned this unit after a few days and got a Garmin Nuvi 255W. Yes, it costs about $100 more, but it does everything I want, has every POI I have thought of, and gets me to work by the expected route. Bottom line: if having a lot of POI or appropriate routing are important to you, do not buy this unit. But if you want and easy-to-use, inexpensive GPS, this is a pretty good choice.

This item is worthless. br / br /It was broken when it arrived, totally refusing to perform any of its functions, or respond to it's controls-it wouldn't even acquire the needed satellite signals. It lit up, and that was all. br / br /After several tries, I returned it. br / br /Satisfaction? br / br /None.
 Move Over - MOOV300! October 1, 2008
Gadget Guy (Atlanta, GA)
I purchased this unit today as a gift for my daughter. I had an older model Mio a couple of years ago. In total I've used Garmin and Magellan units and lean toward the Garmins. What got me to pick up the Mio was the $170 price tag and text to speech. Plus, it has a larger screen than most.That's really where the good news ends! I have 3 big problems with the unit: 1) it is extremly difficult to see in sunlight; 2) while the text is sharp, it's extremly small; 3) it took an absolutely ridiclous route to my home, (took me onto a circular road that dumped out onto the road it had me turn off of!) No, I think Mio has more to learn about GPS than what this unit brings to the market. I'll have to spend a little more and get her a Garmin
 Very easy to use September 30, 2008

This is my fifth GPS. I pick up this gem not knowing what to expect. After the Navicon 5100, this is a joy to use. There were two time that the directions given were "unusual" but not inaccurate. We got to our destination at about the same amount of time, it just wasn't the route I would have taken or thought of taken. But that was just two times out of hundreds so far. The POI menu is outstanding; more categories than you can shake a stick at. Also there are so many different ways to search. I'm never at a loss to find something when I'm in a strange city or town. I also like that I'm able to pick what voice is being used. I have mine set to British Female. It's crystal clear and there is plenty of volume. I can also tune the volume up or down. The Mio Moov is absolutely an entry level GPS, but so is the price. I would definitely recommend the Mio Moov 300.
Simple as Mio but not so professional as Garmin or Tom Tom September 16, 2008

I bought it and used it in CA. I got two errors searching after Walmart near SF and also trying to find a specific PoI in LA. I'm not so sure if this is because the map or the product itself. br /It is also slow when you search through the menu or type an address.
