Mio Navman Spirit 480 Sat Nav

Don't want to be totally negative but no really outstanding good points except price reasonable and the Desktop software seems to work OK.

The ongoing speech instructions which may be given after the initial instruction can occasionally be after the manoeuvre had already taken place, this possibly could cause confusion. The speed camera warning sometimes gives you insufficient time to...

Not easy to adjust volume while driving

The sat nav looks nice, it is compact

I would have liked to have been able to change the voice on the sat nav as I found the womans voice to be very annoying.

Easy to use-light weight-clear screen-

the annoying predictive text on the address mode when typing in an address brings up suggestions but no way to bypass this option and type in the exact address you wish to go to

Its quite clear and easy to use and reassesses the routes quite quickly if you don't want to follow the proposed route at any point.

The charger lacks any light to see if it's charging properly. Lane position at roundabouts could be better

As above

Not sure of length of time for holding charge when not in use. Needs to be longer in my opinion. I did not check before I bought It. When in use not using the car charger it said 3 hours, but that is not long enough when walking with it as a padestrian.

size, compact & light-clear vocals-once charged easy to program

cable fitting into sat nav bulking when attached to window fixture needs to be reset several times before returning to main menu.

Accurate mapping of streets Clear driving directions Good screen size

Does not take bad traffic into account when plotting route

Just what I was looking for at the right price

The price is one of the best for Sat Navs. So far has been reliable. I didn't bother charging it for the 8 hours the instructions suggest before using it and its been fine.

Having been used to a TomTom, this satnav seems more confusing but this may just be because I'm not used to it yet! Can seem a bit slow sometimes. If I could have afforded the tomtom I would prefer it but for the price this product is fine.
