Still with a strong hand to play at entry level, Mio is following in the footsteps of TomTom with its new sat nav, the Spirit 485. With more features than the Navman 470, it has traffic info, parking assistance and the Michelin Green Guide for tourist information. At 148 grammes, the Mio Spirit 485 is very light and although it's well assembled, it doesn't stand out for its build quality. The plastic seems rather thin but the fittings are fine and we like how slim it is (15 mm). Style-wise, it's a shame Mio has gone for rather outdated glossy black plastic on the front as this picks up dust and dirt and is easily scratched. From a technical point of view, the Spirit 485 also has 2 GB of internal memory for extra maps, though unfortunately this can't be extended as there's no memory card port. You can buy or hire maps for other countries if required, though you are limited space-wise. The screen is a standard 4.3-inch, which would however have benefited from being a bit brighter. The speaker is less than convincing. It isn't very powerful and saturates rapidly.
