The trouble with Mio's latest sat-nav is that it's a case of two steps forward, one step back. The widescreen is very nice and Mio has made good use of the extra space, packing lots of much-needed improvements in. Alas, a bit like installing solar panels in an effort to do your bit for the planet while still driving a Hummer to the supermarket to do your weekly shop, these advances are undermined by the introduction of problems that simply weren't there before.
And though the price of £278.63 is reasonable for a device equipped with a TMC receiver, it won't be enough to persuade most consumers to upgrade or choose it over the similarly priced TomTom One XL, which also has a widescreen. I think I'll join them, and stick to my trusty C510e.
