I have no experience with the Mio, but this past Xmas I tried to get one because it was one of those Black Friday item, which of course was sold out right away. Most people bought that because it was cheap, but it's probably not in the same league as a TomTom or a Garmin Nuvi. For the average person it's probably good enough. IMO Black Friday items tend to just be so so. Price is their main strong point. If it was $150 like during Xmas? I'd consider buying it if I didn't have any GPS at all. But since it's still not cheaper than it's Black Friday price, I would spend extra to get a better unit.
