Mio Technology’s C620 and C620t will be the first products with digital elevation models and the new MioMap software on the market.
The digital elevation maps and 3D landmarks offer users faster recognition of map locations and a 3D display of maps. The C620 and C620t feature a 4.3-inch widescreen display and split-screen view.
