GPS duties are taken care of thanks to the newer SiRFstar III GPS receiver and the fully embedded antenna. Powering the C510 is a 400MHz processor running the Windows CE 4.2 operating system.
Mitac also provides an in car charger that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter. This means that you can charge up the C510 either by using the AC charger or plugging it into your PC's USB port. Included in the box is a separate AC charger, a rarity among portable GPS devices, which plugs into a mini-USB connector. Despite its small size, the C510 still includes a 320 x 240 resolution touch sensitive screen with 65,000 colours. The C510 is very small at just 110mm by 76mm by 20.6mm with weight an equally low 170 grams. Securing the mount was a simple affair and the strength of the suction cap was good, though removing it can be difficult. Mounting the C510 requires a two piece connector with a suction cap that attaches to your car's windscreen plus the actual mount that attaches to the device. One design feature we liked was the rubbery buttons, which were very tactile and easy to use. Other external features include a headphone jack and USB port, plus several buttons to control the unit's main functions such as power and volume. At the top of the unit you'll find the memory card reader and external antenna port, as well as a small bulge housing the GPS receiver. Our test unit came in a matt grey colour with black borders and a bright 3.5-inch screen. The Mio C510 strikes us as a rather mundane looking portable GPS device.
