Mio's new GPS devices for North America - Mio Moov S556, Mio Moov S300, Mio Moov S500 and Mio Moov S700 - are pre-loaded with maps of the U.S. and Canada, more than 12 million POIs, and Text-to-Speech (spoken street names) in three languages, with additional languages available for download via the Mio More Desktop software.
