They can cancel 1 coupon but with no email to tell me of the new charges, they can talk to the lawyers @ my credit card company. Unauthorized charges are a BIG no-no.

Ok Y'all, it seems like the link for obtaining tts on the c320 using the c520's updater is no longer available on the mio website..any thoughts on one could obtain the updater? or is there a better way to enable that feature. Thanks, snip
Are there any good golf programs that may be used with this model?

did you checked the shipping status on Staples.com? Mine got researched at the status. Then I called in, the CSR told me that the 25 off 250 couple could not be applied. Then I end up using only one 25 off 75 coupon. The final price of me is 112.
ok a question, could this thing be used with an external wifi chip?? I have a spare wifi chip out of old HP laptop

Go here http://www.sireathome.com/mio/TTS.html
Follow instructions from Step 7
Here's the info from gpspassion: * Buy a 4GB SDHC card and create a directory called MioMap/MAPS for files you will be moving from the Flash Disk * Download, unzip and put the TTS_PPC folder on your flash disk. (This is from point #7 on mustang_mail's TTS page: http://www.sireathome.com/mio/TTS.html) * Download v_tts_nu_eng_us_f3.zip (Jill-TTS Voice US), v_tts_nu_eng_uk_f3.zip (Emily-TTS Voice UK), and v_tts_nu_eng_us_f2.zip (modified Samantha-TTS Voice US) from links near the bottom of mustang_mail's TTS page. Put all 3 zip files in MioMap/Miomap/Voice.
* To make room for the TTS files you'll be adding, you'll need to move some maps from your flash disk to your SD card. Don't worry, they will be fully available to Miomap there. Open up My Flash Disk/Miomap/Miomap/MAPS and select ~100 MB of maps to move (one at time). After selection, move them by clicking Edit...Cut, then open up Storage Card/Miomap/MAPS in the other pane and paste with Edit...Paste. * Next copy TTS_PPC to My Flash Disk/Miomap/Miomap * Copy these three dll files from TTS_PPC/SPEECH/components to the My Flash Disk/Miomap/Miomap folder: COMBRK.DLL, COMRSRC.DLL, rssoloapi.dll.

Also google Miopocket 2.0 to open up the GPS and add various other stuff to this GPS.
Can you Mio vets point to where I can get the additional POI & maps? I'm kinda of a rook @ this GPS hacking thing. Still not sure what is going on here. haha.

my shipping status says Available, total cost $92.00 shipped
I bought two using the $25 off $250 and also a $10 off $100 that was in my inbox.

Got mine (and FREE labeler - THANKS OP), for a total of $85, with the 25/75 and 25/250 which still worked. I guess I should have tried to add the 10/150 coupon as well, but missed it... The Mio ETA is 8/25, due to availability in my area....I'll wait!
Which one is better Mio C320 or Invion 4v506? Both are $129 at Staples http://www.Staples.com/office/supplies/p13__200271_10051_Business_Supplies Invion has text to speech as well Anyone has experience with Invion?
Place a .com order, (you do it yourself) from the instore .com pc. Check it for Pay at register (not online) Place the order..(do not enter coupon at this point) Hand the cashier your .com order. Then present the coupon....

There is a map version that provides 12 million POIs and Canada can be added as well. This is a good GPS. I gave mine to my brother-in-law as a thank you gift. While this is a good GPS, I think I'll wait a bit for BF deals.
I got it on BF 2007 at Radio Shack, too. I love it. I use it as a Pocket PC. Just ordered another one as a gift for one friend. Do you think BF deal for this unit will be cheaper than $105? I wait for BF deals for other models: c520/720.
I'm actually waiting on GPS units that have traffic updates. I know, I know, real-time traffic updates are sometimes available only for a certain timeframe in a given area. But, I think it's still a good feature to have. One thing that I also wanted, that the C320 does not have, are Navteq Maps. I prefer the Navteq to Teleatlas ones.
The C320 is a solid GPS, it gets signals quickly and is very hackable.

I still have my Invion 4v106 that I got from Staples. I was able to upgrade the software to Destinator 7, which I think is what the Invion 4v506 uses. My 4V106 is a good GPS too but I preferred the Mio C320 to it when I still had the Mio. I found the Mio C320 had more useful real-time information than the Invion at runtime.
The one thing that the C320 software lacked was informing which side the destination was at, i.e. left or right. The Destinator 7 had this, albeit a bit too late, because it told the user which side the destination was, when the destination was practically there. It was like, "You have arrived at your destination, your destination is on your [left/right]." While late, it was still better than nothing. Based on my experience, iGuidance was better than the Mio and Destinator software.

Log into your Staples.com account, and you will see that the 25/250 won't be there anymore..........Sorry for the bad news.

GPS Underground was my source, although, GPS Passion is a good source too but I find it to be heavily moderated for my tastes.
durhamman said: mces said: SUNNY said: Does this GPS takes SDHC memory card?I am using a sandisk 4gb SDHC on my c320 without any problems. Don't know about larger capacity cards.
I use 8GB SDHC card, no problem at all.
Will the expanded maps/POI's take up much space @ all on these SDHC? Or is your SDHC mostly for music, video, non GPS related software?
Just trying to gauge how much capacity I should buy.
where can i dowload tts into this. all the instructions on the net lead to expired pages.

My order status still shows "researching". Are they going to cancel, call me, or deliver it at new charge w/out coupon? I'm waiting it out just in case they let me have it anyway

Never got confirmation email, but the online order status now shows the order for $114?? I do have a printout of the previous confirmation page. I presume someone took off the 25/250 coupon. What's the best way to handle this?? Cancel and reorder??

Yeap, this is happening to alot of people so its not surprising. Even if you cancel and reorder wont help.
