No, the last map Mio did for the c220 was April 2007

I hate these things but they do sync with microsoft. I was unable to find a proper driver too but did find out that MS SYNC

was what I needed to be able to talk to the device.

go to Mio Support and see if the C210 can even accept US maps. ALso, check ebay for cd with map restore or "Transmit Map' to blank 2 GB sd card.

Call Mio too.

Turn the device off( from the back button) press volume up and the flag button( third from the right) in the same time and power on the device. Keep pressed the two buttons untill a screen shows . Press ok and then another ok. Then restart the device. This will do it
