    I've had a Mio305 and now a Mio505 upgrade

    Software is great (though online mapping via Bikeroute toaster is awful - takes you through private roads/facilities and down one way streets!) & surprise me feature great at home an abroad.

    Both units have had mount failures on rough roads/cobbles. Sigma were really helpful (unlike Planet X experience) and upgraded me to a 505 model first time round, but this also failed on a bar mount resulting in the screen being cracked. Now waiting replacement & apparently a stronger mount. Lets hope this works as Surrey roads are the worst in the UK I reckon.

    I don't go overboard on data and base my rides on feel and toughness (ride distance, metres climbed & ave speed), but the Mio proved itself itself easier to use and navigate compared to the Garmins on the Raid Dolomites last month. But theirs didn't fall off and have to be taped to the bars.... Tough little unit though as it carried on working despite cracks, rain and bouncing down the cobbles, with touchscreen still working fine and easy to see. Good GPS competitor to Gamin which is a bit nerdier on data if you prefer that to navigation.
