"From the Manufacturer (June 19, 2008)"
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.
Never miss a turn with 3D indicators and clear voice turn-by-turn guidance. |
The 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.While 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. Mio 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. Other features include: - With over 3.5 million points of interest, it's easy to find restaurants, gas stations, emergency assistance, hotels and more.
- United States street-level maps are pre-loaded on the 1 GB internal memory
- SD/MMC memory card slot for additional map loading
- USB port for connection to your PC
- Internal speaker
- Dimensions: 5.1 x 3.3 x 0.7 inches (WxHxD)

Real-Time Traffic Alerts
The 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. With TMC real-time alerts, you'll be warned early of trouble spots up ahead and get suggestions for routes around the obstruction. While you can add this service to the Moov 300, the Mio Moov 310 comes equipped with TMC right out of the box. What's in the Box

 Does not cut it ! June 24, 2008
I own a Mio Digiwalker 310, which i bought 2 years ago, and was quite satisfied with it. Feeling I needed an upgrade, I decided to buy the Moov 300, which has text to speech. Bad decision ! Though the Moov 300 has more features than other comparably priced units, it is poorly engineered. Its most obvious flaws are: 1. Screen washes out in normal daylight, making it difficult to view ( the Digiwalker 310x is by contrast bright and clear even in the full glare of a bright day) . 2. Processor is slow, making searches frustatingly long drawn- upto 60 secs even for nearby addresses. 3. Touch screen function is not very responsive: sometimes takes upto 30 seconds for system to respond to touch command; repeat that 30 second lag for several consecutive key screen touches and you want to tear your hair out 4. Your current position on screen not very accurate: can be off by as much as 50 yards; the 310x was dead accurate by contrast. 5. Screen update lags behind actual road position: if you are taking a tun, it shows you at position before turn long after you have passed the turn. 6. Though unit has 3.5 million POIs, searching by name for POIs such as nearest Walmart produced no results! 7. the 310x had a relatively simple set of operations to avoid specific roads in planning a route, but the Moov 300 is almost impossible in this respect: you really have to struggle to design a route which avoids a specific road.
On the plus side, the text to speech engine works well, gives more than adequate reminders and even guides you to the side of road on which your address, or exit is located on. The multi destination planner is easy to use. The maps seem to be upto date.
All in all, too problematic to be an effective GPS unit for experienced users. On the other hand, first time users, who may want a GPS for simple point to point navigation in a well shaded car interior will probably find this unit good value at a very affordable price point.
 Wost purchase ever June 14, 2008

This was my fourth GPS: I had early versions of Tom Tom, Garmin and Intellinav 1. This is by far worst GPS ever. I used it once, on my way from work to home. It gives directions to the next intersection only. In the city, it says: "in the next 100 feet go straight" every 100 feet. On the highway, it says "in one mile, keep left", every time there is an exit on right or the road has a curve. Finally, when I was on my street one block from home, it said: "turn right". I decided to return it. And it is impossible! The ANTOnline, which sells this device through Amazon, refuses to accept returns of GPS. Amazon supports their policy. I had to buy another GPS and keep this one as a reminder, not to deal with Amazon anymore.

I need a GPS for my daugther, who got her driver license recently and have been calling home asking for direction often :-) After surveying the field I narrowed my choices down to: Garmin 260W, TomTom XL-S, and Mio Moov 300. The main selection criteria are:
1. bigger screen
2. text-to-speech
3. all gps functions, none others (e.g. bluetooth)
Since Moov 300 is fairly new and there aren't a lot reviews it is sort of a risky buy. However, since all 3 are pretty much the same functionality-wise, the tie-breaker came down to price. After a couple of weeks, here are some opinions:
Pros:
1. fairly easy to use (never read the manual).
2. find satellites almost instantly (< 15sec), even inside my house. Note that performance might vary, I can only speak from my experience.
3. Good text-to-speech, announce direction in advance. Again, I read some people complained it announced turns too late, but not yet to me. It usually announces twice, once to remind you beforehand, the other when the turn is near.
4. fast re-route
Cons:
1. Battery is weak, less than 2 hours.
2. Sometimes the route is devious.
Overall, I consider it worth the money if you are not too picky.
