MIO C220 Digiwalker for 179$ + Shipping (9.95$ to victoria/12.95 to NSW/14.95 to other states)
HT comes close as 199$ but nothing in stock and operator said he can deliver for 15$ if minimum 2 has been ordered.
My friend has this exact model and we generally liked this as it got street speed limits on the map itself to warn on overspeeding.
What exactly do the newer models have for instance that this doesn't?
I don't know much about GPS but this looks like a damn good price to snap one up?
Larger screen, touch screen, camera, tech to speech, bluetooth, audio and video player, real-time updates about traffic accidents & weather conditions, etc…

In other words nothing much that adds to it's functionality as a navigational device; it does have a touch screen by the way. You pay hundreds of dollars more for all of those other things.
I have this unit and I am well pleased with it. It only does navigation but it does it well for the price.
It also comes with a map and software upgrade later in the year, by redemption. See http://www.mio.com/au/mio-technology-press-releases-MioMap20…
does anyone know if this supports chinese?

+1 for that but -1 for old model. Therefore neutral :)
