*****Great GPS for an unbeatable Price*****
I have the Mio C230 for about a month now. I have to say it was not very easy to use, but after a couple of hours, I was able to find my way around it. This is my third GPS, I have a Garmin C340 for almost two years, and a Nuvi 370 for about eight months; so I can say that I have a bit of experience with the Garmin products which considered to be one of the best GPS in the market. The only reason I got the Mio is the ability to add multiple stops to your final destination (Via Points), and the Mio's ability to optimize the route for you, a feature not available in the Garmin products. My girlfriend is a realtor, and she makes numerous stops to show houses to her clients; with the Garmin, she had to enter one stop at the time, which means that she might be going back and forth or zig zaging around; with the Mio, all she has to do is to input as many addresses as she needs to, and then the Mio will optimize the route and guide her around, cool.
You can enter address either by state...

I picked the C230 for the following reasons:
1. The price was right. It was on sale for $175 at Circuit City plus I had a $15 coupon.
2. It's the cheapest unit with the "text to speech" feature that I could find.
3. It improves on C220 with a better brighter screen and is louder.
4. All the GPSs on the market (expensive or not, "name brand" or not) have mixed reviews, so I figured I'd take my chances...
5. I like the way you can "tilt" the view between 2D and 3D and stop in between.
6. You can set up multiple waypoints between point A and point B. Not sure how many you can have but it's better than a similar model, say Garmin 300 which you can have a start and a destination...
So far so good. Minor problem experienced
I have owned it for about 10 days. Everything seems working fine. Signal reception is great. I had a Garmin StreePilot c340 for a few days more than half a year ago. Garmin c340 could not receive signal as soon as I took it away from the dashboard. In contrast, Mio c230 has no problem at all wherever I place it in the car.
Mio c230 is thin, much lighter than Garmin's c340. Touchscreen works fine. Menu is generally good (it took a little bit time to figure out what is what since I did not have much experience with GPS in the past).
Used it today to go to Gilroy Garden (in northern California). The address given at Gilroy Garden's website is 3050 Hecker Pass Hwy, and Google's maps found it easily. When I input the address into Mio c230, it said there was no such address, but nonetheless calculated the route for me. I decided to follow its route, and it led to me to a county park on the same Hecker Pass Hwy, about 3 miles away from Gilroy Garden. So, it...
