Johannesburg South Africa 21 January 2008, Mio. Mio is known for their focus on expansion and enhancement of their product range and one of it’s nifty car navigation devices is taking South Africa by storm - the C520 car navigation device.

The Mio C520 is small enough to slip into a pocket thus it is ready for that last minute trip and with the built-in Bluetooth® speakerphone, you can also talk safely while driving. The Mio C520 was built to impress with an awesome feature such as the audio player. It plays standard digital audio files like MP3, by using memory cards, so users are able to transfer their favourite tunes from their computer for enjoyment on the road. The Mio C520 gets down to real business with its 20-channel GPS receiver. The highly sensitive SiRFstarIII GPS receiver provides accurate navigation in challenging environments. Whether you're in the centre of a city surrounded by skyscrapers or in the heart of a forest, you’ll feel a lot safer and reassured with SiRFstarIII keeping track of your position.

The Mio C520 is not only stylish but it is also easy to use, with extra large icons for intuitive data input and menu navigation. The Mio C520 supports Import of Outlook® Contact Addresses that allows you to keep in touch with the office although you are on the road. In addition, you are able to transfer contacts from Microsoft® Outlook® for instant navigation to their address. If you have the address of your friends, family members and business contacts in your Outlook® address book, you can easily transfer these to your device and use them for navigation.
