The stand-alone GPS market is getting incredibly competitive and Mio isn’t resting on their freshly acquired laurels. The Mio C620 will feature limited 3G graphics to display terrain elevation and landmarks, thanks to the new MioMap 2008 software. I can only speculate, but I sense that more buildings will be added… once Mio gets them modeled (it’s a ton of work). Points of interest will show up as “sprites” in the 3D environment.
The overall look of the software is new, and we can only hope that there is a better map upgrade mechanism, this time. Mio website
