Mio, a leading Portable Navigation Device maker, announced that throughout 2009, it has been honored by 23 awards and editors' recommendations across Western Europe for the Mio Moov V and S series, which runs on the user-friendly "Mio Spirit" navigation software. The intuitive and easy to use operation has been well received by consumers and professional media in the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, France, Spain, the Nordics, Italy and Greece.

Since its launch in 2009, the Moov S series has been praised for its easy-to-use intuitive user interface, keyword search, explore functions, and accurate positioning. In the UK, Personal Computer World granted the Moov S500 with its "Editor’s Choice" and "Best Buy" awards. The product was also honored with the "Recommendation" by PC Today in Spain and PC-Tidninggen in Sweden for its large screen size, Bluetooth support and fast routing.
 

The Moov V500 and V700 are the first of their kind to offer the perfect combination of professional navigation and rich digital TV content at an affordable price. The Moov Spirit V505 TV with 5" screen recently earned the editor's highest evaluation from NaviConnect, Germany and FWD Magazine, Belgium.

German IT magazine, Infosat,  concluded that "With the Moov Spirit V735 TV, Mio created a multiple talent, which succeeded in all areas of the test. User friendliness, high reception quality, a clearly arranged individual navigation solution with useful extra information and high class manufacture make the navigation and TV combination a real recommendation." Further recognition comes from Demark, Spain, and Austria. Windows Vista magazine in France particularly highlights the slim form factor of the Mio Moov Spirit V735 whilst PC Tipp in Switzerland gives five stars for its multimedia capabilities and the innovative Explore Mode function.
