Over time, we've managed to get our hands on a fairly large number of Mio products and we were able to thoroughly test for ourselves what the company's GPS personal navigation devices were able to achieve. Plus, after enjoying a hands-on experience with the new Spirit interface a while ago, we were quite curious to see just how the new Moov line (the S Series) would behave when used extensively.

Out of all the new models that will come equipped with the Spirit interface, we've had the chance to test the top-range one (at least in terms of dimensions), namely the Moov S760, whose size makes it a very good choice for people riding an SUV rather than the owners of a smaller vehicle.

One of the reasons why we've gone for this particular version was to test just how a large touchscreen would behave when paired with the new interface. As some of you might remember, one of the large-size PNDs from Mio we've tested a while back, the C725 model, had some issues related to the touchscreen displays' sensitivity, something we haven't encountered in the case of the other Mio navigators we've thoroughly tested, such as the Moov 330 or the Moov 500.

Of course, we won't tell you right from the start which were our conclusions regarding the issue mentioned above, but we will, however, point out that the Moov S760 in particular and the Spirit line in general represent a major overhaul of the navigation experience provided by Mio's PNDs, for quite a significant number of reasons.

Despite of the fact that some of you might feel that the size of the Moov S760 is simply way too big of an issue, the truth of the matter is that this device is a very good example of what Mio's Spirit is all about. In this way, you'll be able to get at least a general idea regarding what you might expect from the new Moov PNDs from Mio that come pre-loaded with this UI, and opt for a smaller version that better suits your needs.
