>> Hi, this is Bonnie Cha senior editor at CNE.com and today we're taking a first look at the Mio C520. This is actually a really great value a GPS device for your car. It's got this nice sleek design probably one of the best designs I've seen it's really nice and thin. It has this large 4.3 inch screen, but tends to fade a little bit in the sunlight. But if you adjust the back lighting and the viewing angle it turns out okay. You get a lot of stuff for just about 400 dollars. With the C520 you get Bluetooth, you get text to speech functionality, as well as your usual turn by turn directions. The directions were accurate, but the routing wasn't always efficient. So, it's not as great as the Tomtom. And it also does multimedia it has video, a music player and a picture viewer. I would actually probably use this as a video player since it's so small and it has this nice screen. Very good value and I would defiantly get it if you're looking for around the 400 dollar range you'll get a lot for your money. I'm Bonnie Cha this has been the Mio C520. ^M00:00:58 [ Music ]
