The good

The Mio Moov S760 is as a fully featured PND, offering drivers just about every function they might expect from such a device, and more. First and foremost, it manages to put to very good use the Mio Spirit interface, which is a major step forward by Mio in user-friendliness. Plus, the interface grants access to a huge array of navigation options (including the very cool Travel Book function), while users can even record their journeys and attach voice tags to certain specific locations.

Moreover, the S760 packs a Bluetooth module, which can be used both for tethering (thus enabling the Google Local Search feature) and for turning the PND into a full-fledged speakerphone, a feature quite a lot of users might really find to be particularly interesting. Additionally, the Moov device incorporates an FM transmitter and is also able to deliver some pretty decent video and music playback. Plus, it's very slim and elegant, which is a must, given the fact that it's mostly targeting SUV owners, for whom luxury is quite an ordinary thing.

The bad

Without even thinking about it twice, the single worst thing about the Mio S760 is the provided battery life. On its own (and when installed within a vehicle), the PND works very well, but when taken around for a walk, it might run out of battery way before you even reach your destination. So, in other words, don't count on the pedestrian mode too much, or do so if you're just struggling to find an address while on foot (but no sightseeing through some foreign city).

It's also likely that some people might find the large screen of the Moov S760 a little less responsive than that of a smaller version, while others will probably find the whole PND way too big for their vehicles (but, as mentioned right from the start, those people are encouraged to opt for one of the smaller models from the S Series).

Overall impressions

To some extent, the Moov S760 GPS personal navigation device can be regarded as some sort of a niche product, since it will most likely appeal mostly to the owners of larger vehicles, such as SUVs, trucks, campers, etc. However, it does manage to prove just what the new Spirit interface is all about, while its elegant aspect will certainly draw quite a few people's attention.
