‘Find my Car' and lifetime map updates among the innovative new features
London, 7th August 2012 - Mio, one of the world's leading portable navigation device (PND) manufacturers, has added six new models to its range of in-car PNDs. Two new Mio Spirit models offer innovative and exciting new features, including free lifetime map upgrades and a function to help locate a parked car, while four new Mio Moov models offer fantastic value, ease-of-use and lightweight design for a simple, efficient experience.
The Spirit of Driving
The all new Mio Spirit 697 LM and 695 LM bring a fresh, exciting approach to car navigation, combining Mio's ergonomic and lightweight design with a full range of tools to help the driver.
Among the new features on offer, the new Spirit devices include Lifetime Map Updates - meaning the user can download the latest maps for the device, free of charge, for the duration of its lifetime. For those who have ever parked their car in a hurry and forgotten exactly where it is, the all-new ‘Find my Car' feature could also prove invaluable, allowing users to quickly and easily locate where they parked.
Each Spirit device also offers a new Choice of Routes for each journey, with users able to preview a choice of four routes - fastest, shortest, easiest or most economical - to best suit the drivers' needs in any occasion.
The Spirit devices also include a host of other useful features, including IQ RoutesTM, LearnMe ProTM (the enhanced version of Mio's pioneering personalised routing technology), Lane Guidance, Parking Assistance, Pedestrian Mode, Hands-free Bluetooth calling (697 LM only) and Voice Entry (697 LM only). The devices pack a super-wide 5" display for large, easy to use maps and controls.
