How to Unlock a MIO C320b
If you've purchased a Mio DigiWalker C320b GPS system, centered around a 4.3-inch touch-screen display, it could become locked up if you move outside its coverage area, if your firmware becomes dated or your SD card is acting up. You might have to buy a DVD map update from the company (as of November 2010, $59.99) to unlock all of your C320b's features. Or a few troubleshooting steps might help free it.

Open the SD-card slot door on the side of your C320b. Push the card in with your fingertip. It should pop out. If it's already unseated when you open the door, this could be affecting your base map, which is often loaded from the SD card in U.S. models, since Mios are manufactured in Europe.

Spray a burst of compressed air into the card slot. Wipe any residue or dust from the SD card with a cloth. Push your SD card back into its slot until seated and flush with the slot edge. Close the card slot door.
