Mio Digiwalker c310x GPS Update

Anyone else also pick up that Mio GPS for $200 (or less) recently? Frankly, I had given up hope of ever seeing any map updates on this device and was ready to ebay it… However, Mio is now taking orders for a firmware and map update DVD. At only $25, I figure I’ll give it a shot. FYI The site rejected my AmEx and a Visa gift card. Details here:

Compared to the previous map version, this version has improved road position accuracy for better map display, has added new or corrected one-way streets for improved driving directions, has added more highway exit points for improved driving directions, added more lower class roads for more routing options using back roads, and improved the over-all address match rate to help you find all the places you want to go.

For speculation and whining, head on over to GpsPassion. I don’t care if I have fewer points of interest or if I lose the ability to hack the device, as long as the Mio now actually gets me  where I’m going (efficiently). If not, I’ll take another look at Telenav (and carrying fewer devices).
