Brussels, 10, May 2007: Mio Technology Europe, a leading worldwide supplier of personal GPS navigation devices, announces the availability of an ultra-sleek, entry-level GPS device to meet increasing consumer demand for affordable and portable navigation. Following the success of the C250, the C220 comes equipped with updated map data and is also competitively priced.
The C220 is perfect for users who are new to GPS navigation or those looking for a second device for the family. At £129.99 the C220 is a fantastic choice for a broad range of consumers, from college students leaving home for the first time to retirees heading to spring and summer locations.
"The explosive popularity of the C250 during the holiday season and early this year demonstrates the demand for quality portable navigation devices at a reasonable price," said Leo Exter, Marketing Manager Europe "We are confident that the C220 will follow in the footsteps of the C250; exceeding consumers' expectations without breaking the bank."
The C220 comes with regional maps of Tele Atlas preinstalled, allowing users to simply remove the device from the box and go. Turn-by-turn voice and visual navigation keeps the driver's eyes on the road, whether receiving directions in English, French or Spanish. The C220 also offers an anti-glare, 3.5-inch screen so the sun will not interfere. And with thousands of points of interest, finding your way to a new cafe, watering hole, posh restaurant or sports arena is a snap.
With the SiRFstarIII GPS receiver and touch screen destination entry, the C220 provides consumers with full satellite-navigation functionality at an entry-level cost for those looking for a click and drive solution.
