• Bottom Line The Mio Moov 200 is a good GPS value and provides a solid feature set for an entry-level navigation device. Better POI performance would make it an undisputed budget winner.

The Mio Moov 200 will get you where you're going for less than $200.

At the CeBIT trade show in March, Mio announced its new line of 'Moov' navigation devices. The previous generation of Mio products, all branded under the name DigiWalker, were powered by the company's version of Nav N Go's iGO software.

(We've reviewed a number of these devices, including the fully-loaded, the moderately priced wide-screen and the entry-level 3.5-inch screen.) The new Moov devices are powered by in-house software developed using technology from Navman, a GPS company Mio acquired last year. As a result, the interface on Mio devices has changed considerably. Although I like some of the differences, especially the Moov's new text-to-speech conversion, multi-segment routing, and multiple language support, the company has taken a step backward in the way it presents points of interest (POI) information. And on our tests, the Moov 200 was sluggish with POI searches. The Moov line consists of four products, all of which have the same core features, the only differences being screen size and live traffic data access.

It's identical to the 200 but throws in live traffic reports as part of the deal. At $229.95, the sports a larger 4.3-inch widescreen. The top-of-the-line model, the, is identical to the 300 but, like the 210, includes live traffic information—a feature that makes the 210 and 310 much better deals. For $20 more you get a built-in live traffic receiver plus a one-year subscription to real-time traffic data. Thereafter, the traffic subscription is $60 per year. None of the models in the Moov line come with a ton of bells and whistles. They don't have, for example, the media players found on many of the older DigiWalker products.
