Mio Technology announces at ISPO ’12:
Mio Cyclo Series - Bicycle navigation devices with Surprise Me-feature, easy interface and preinstalled maps

Munich, 30th of January 2012 – Mio Technology, a worldwide supplier of Portable Navigation Devices (PNDs), announces the launch of Mio Cyclo Series with the Mio Cyclo 300 and Mio Cyclo 305, at the ISPO Munich ’12. With this new product range Mio is aiming for the cycling market, with bicycle navigation devices for both the recreational and sportive cyclists.

Surprise Me-feature
The Mio Cyclo series allows you to easily navigate from A to B, or follow your own preferred routes. But if you choose to use the Surprise Me-feature, the Mio Cyclo will put together a surprising bicycle route based on your entered time or distance, regardless of where you are. Ideal and easy for anyone who has seen all the routes in their home area, and those who like to be surprised in an unknown region.

The best experience in bicycle navigation, for the recreational and sportive user
“Cycling is increasing in popularity. On the recreational level, more and more people start to see the healthy relaxation that cycling brings. Families with kids go cycling during the weekend, enjoying the outdoors and the nature together. Also cycling tourism increases. This trend raises the awareness of the comfortable pedelec, which gives the opportunity for less fit people to easily cycle longer distances and hilly areas. This target group will benefit from the easy to use Mio Cyclo devices, which will give them clear guidance, so they can enjoy their surroundings.”, says Iwan Van Hende, PM Director Outdoor & Fitness of Mio Cyclo Series.

But the Mio Cyclo series also matches with the needs of the sportive user. “The robust, waterproof Mio Cyclo 305 is made for every sportive cyclist. The strong combination of an easy to use navigation device with heart rate and cadence measurement creates a device that suits the needs of every mountain- or race biker”.

Preinstalled maps
Open Street Map and TeleAtlas maps are already preinstalled, so you can start using the Mio Cyclo device straight out of the box. And if desired, the integrated car navigation mode will give you turn-by-turn directions to the nearest or starting point of the bicycle route of your choice.

Thanks to the large, anti-glare 3” touch screen, the information you require will be available quickly in a clearly visible manner, both for the recreational cyclist and the trained mountain biker or racer. The impact resistant and waterproof casing (IPX7) makes the Mio Cyclo resistant to any type of weather.

Train and share your experiences
The Mio Cyclo measures time, speed, distance, height, calorie consumption and more. Using this data and the route information, you can use the Mio Share Desktop software not only to keep track of your route history and training schedules, but to share them with others as well.

Extra features of the Mio Cyclo 305
The Mio Cyclo 305 is packed with the same practical features as the Mio Cyclo 300, but comes with an ANT+ sensor, allowing you to connect the heart rate monitor and cadence/wheel sensor, to tune all options to the training schedule you want to follow.
