Lately it seems like satnav manufacturers have been trying to pack their units with as many high-tech functions as possible. Now though, certain brands like Mio seem to have finally understood that handling and ease of use can be more important that all the latest bells and whistles!

The Mio Navman 470 is an entry-level satnav with a 4.3-inch screen. Its simplified use and basic handling make it a functional product that won't break the bank.

Higher up the range, the Mio Navman 575 has a larger screen and an integrated traffic info service. It also has a more stylish, contemporary look and offers greater comfort for users who are willing to spend a little more.
