As there is no map for Hungary, the user experience is very close to zero in our country, so we had a little trip to the capital of the monarchy, especially because there was a veteran car exhibition there, with real rarities. As we passed through the now symbolic border we cast our happy eyes on the display of the navi, waiting the SirfStar III to hunt down enough satellites, and we didn’t have to wait much: the Mio found the satellites quickly and hung onto them massively. There is a separate review being written for the use of iGO 8 (MioMap 2008), so I really wouldn’t like to go into details about that, let’s just say that it’s interesting, but one has to re-learn its use.

I would still say about the map and the software, that – probably in order to increase user experience – it took us so “deep” into Wien that we got home only because we know the Austrian capital very well. We couldn’t find out if the map, the planning algorithm or the gods were responsible for the error, but it was very unpleasant hurrying somewhere, against the clock, knowing that only the navi is more lost then we are.

As a conclusion my opinion of the C620 is that in its current state, with only a Western Europe map, for an estimated price of 500 EUR, it is way too expensive. It is practically unusable in Eastern Europe and this can’t be balanced not even by the quality of the assembly or the extra applications. We hope that we soon get the version including the map of our country. But until then, there is no award.
