Did you just buy a new Mio and want to update the maps? You basically have two choices, hack it or follow the instructions below and have Mio send you a new map DVD.

Here are the instructions on how you can call Mio to send you a  FREE DVD with the latest maps and software free of charge.

1. Call Mio – 1-866-646-4477. Choose the pre-sales support option.

2. Explain that you recently purchased a Mio gps and were disappointed to learn that the maps on your NEW gps were almost 3-years old (most units are shipping w/2006 maps). Tell them you didn’t think that was fair and ask them if something can be done.

3. The rep will ask for:

Your name
Your address
Your Mio Model and its serial number
Your phone number
The date and place of purchase

before explaining that they are requesting that you be sent 2008 maps and software at no charge(retail value $79.95 + $12.00 S&H) and give you a case number.

Warning: This is only for actual MIO buyers – Some callers are being asked to fax their original invoice showing date of purchase.

If want to hack you Mio here are the instructions:

Hacking the Mio is very simple, you need two things

1. Hacked mio software
2. And the updated maps

Follow the guide and you will have the BEST maps with 12 million POI’s.

MioPocket, which unlocks your Mio is not even necessary to do this. It would probably take less time and effort to do the map hack upgrade then call Mio and wait for the DVD.
