 Disappointed January 20, 2007
15 out of 37 found this review helpful
After reading several good reviews on the H610 I decided to purchase as I am living in Italy and roads are difficult at best to navigate. I knew it came with US maps loaded but wrongly assumed it would be an easy thing to get the Euro maps. After I checked their website, they said "maybe" they would have the maps ready by spring 2007. This was baffling to me that a GPS would be released with all these "world traveler" features like currency/temp conversion, etc. and not have world maps available. Besides that, the user manual can only be accessed through the CD, which can be frustrating when you are looking for how to do something. The tiny booklet that came with explained almost nothing. I still am not sure what the M button on the side was for, other than the fact that it kept getting stuck down and would make the MIO boot in some sort of maintenance mode. Finally, I was not impressed with the look. The screen is just too small and cannot be changed to horizontal (or at least not easily because I could not figure it out). Also, the color and wrist strap that come with the thing have a decidedly feminine look to them and then I found some websites where the thing is advertised as "GPS for Ladies". You can imagine how much fun my coworkers had with me when they saw that. All this added up to me returning the product for a refund. Regarding the GPS features, it seemed to hold a signal well and play all the multimedia junk fine, but the negatives far outweighed the positives.
