Mio totally has your back. The new C320 is a little navigation device that alerts you when you stray too far above the speed limit and also keeps track of speed traps and red light cameras. How? Enter the data yourself (like after you get hassled by The Man) or update via an online hookup. It's easy, we got ours synced up and found almost a dozen red light cameras in a five mile radius of home. Ha,take that Big Brother! The C320 may lack the Bluetooth connectivity of its the highly regarded older sibling, the C520, but it packs most of that unit’s thunder. It carries the same bright 4.3-inch widescreen display and media player, as well as Mio’s terrific user interface, which allows you to speed up your destination entry by starting with the zip code and has one of the best, most intuitive systems for adding waypoints before or after your first-entered destination. Finally a device that guides us where to go AND keeps us from getting popped by the Po-Po. The C320 is riding shotgun with us all the time now. —Eric Adams
WIRED Speed-limit monitoring and traffic-camera alerts. In a way, it’s like driving with your mom all the time, but the alerts aren’t scolding as much as they are genuinely helpful. Alerts for red light cams and speed traps can be preprogrammed from a light buzz to a shrill squawk, depending on how much you need to avoid the authorities.
