Mio DigiWalker H610: GPS gets personal

mio_digiwalker.jpg

Another portable GPS device. So what? Well, the Mio DigiWalker H610 is different. Smaller than a deck of cards — and tons more fun — the H610 ($499) is not just a portable GPS, it's a personal GPS. This cute little guy can be held in your hand, worn around your neck, or dangled on a wristband. It can play MP3 files, videos, or display photos on the 2.7-inch full-color display, plus it comes preloaded with some pretty cool games.

Oh, right, the GPS features. The H610 does turn-by-turn navigation with voice guidance, and an SD card slot makes the storage vastly expandable. The H610 would make for a nice travel companion: before a trip, sync it up with WorldMate to download information about locations worldwide (it comes with a free 3-year subscription), which gathers time and weather information for your destination. The H610 has an international clothing size converter, currency converter, and tip calculator. While there are certainly bigger and bulkier GPS units for traveling, the Mio H610 is small and competent enough to always tag along.

Why have a clothing converter on a GPS? Such a retardedly disconnected function makes this lose my vote. If this parallels the other Mios I looked at, there are several things to add than a clothing size converter (e.g. straight line routing useful in geocaching). Leave the clothing size converting to the clothing stores please. :D
