What is MioMore ? 
Nowadays GPS devices must do more than simply helping users get from A to B; the next generation of GPS devices must also deliver value added services that provide greater insight into the local environment including shops, facilities and traffic events.

 “Mio customers and retail partners are already benefiting from new products and services, increased sales support, greater marketing resources and enhanced customer support services.  For Mio, the obligation is to leverage the strength of each third party and provide a significant challenge to the current leaders in the GPS product market.”

Experience MioMore on the Mio Moov Range
To create a unified and consistent global brand image Mio has developed a new corporate logo and tagline - explore more – which embodies the principle of helping customers to explore more with their GPS devices with innovative new content and services, such as MioMoreTM. The tagline also echoes the new organisation’s commitment to exploring the value of new GPS technologies, devices and services for customers. A commitment highlighted by new content services and future concept products, being showcased alongside the new Moov range.

With Mio’s innovative new content and services package, MioMoreTM, the Moov range include a dynamic local search feature for finding points of interest such as shops, restaurants, businesses and amenities. The Local Search technology is powered via leading online local directory search partners across Europe and enables the devices to search the most comprehensive databases available for specific local amenities via a Bluetooth connection to a mobile phone. The Moov range is also the first to feature SiRF’s new InstantFixII technology as standard. This predicts where GPS satellites will be on power up so a fix can be achieved in as little as five seconds and users can begin navigating as soon as they’re ready to drive.
