5 times faster GPS fix
The new Mio *** features SiRF InstantFixII GPS. Gone are the days of making small talk in the car while waiting for your device to find a signal. Coupled with the new Mio software, the powerful new SiRFStarIII GPS receiver has been optimised to hook up with satellites faster than ever before, with no more hanging around.
Act like a local
Mio Desktop™ gives you access to a wide range of services and features that go further than ordinary navigation. Local Search via desktop gives you information at your fingertips, from hotels and restaurants, to services, tourist spots and Points of Interest.
See clearly with TruMap™ views
Over the years GPS maps have become more complicated, so we took the bold step and redesigned ours from scratch. The result is TruMap™, a unique design inspired by paper maps. We’ve simplified graphics and colour for a clutter-free look that’s easier to understand. The natural white background allows your route to stand out, so you can see your way at a glance. At dusk, the screen automatically switches to night mode and brightness is reduced for safer driving.
A new approach to lanes and junctions
With the ***’s Lane Guidance, you’re always in the correct lane to make a turn, so useful with today’s busier roads. The Spirit software also features realistic 3D Junction Views that match major road signs, giving you more time to understand what’s ahead as you approach an exit or intersection.
Discover the unexpected
Imagine being anywhere in Europe, informed with the knowledge that there’s a great restaurant or fascinating museum nearby. Introducing Explore Mode, an intelligent new idea that instantly transforms your navigation experience. When you arrive at any location, touch the Explore button on the Spirit menu and it creates a virtual circle around your location, highlighting all the POIs (Points of Interest) in the area that are just waiting to be discovered.

Alternatively, you can browse the maps of any location before you set off so you can plan your POI visits in advance. Once you have a route planned, your POIs and other useful places of interest are highlighted along the way.
Go with a guide
Pre-loaded into every new *** are Travel Books from Wcities. Browse the in-depth listings of tourist attractions, places to eat, stay and visit, full of facts and photos. There are hundreds more to choose from, all quick and easy to download when you connect to MioMore™ Desktop 2 via your PC.
Smarter, greener routing
The ***’s Economical Routing option assesses and reduces the number of junctions on your chosen route, so you can cut down on stopping and starting, fuel usage and also help lower your car’s CO2 emissions.
