APIC Moving Map Review on Mio C320 (Doesn’t Work)
Approach Systems Inc’s APIC Moving Map software, although very cool looking, AND the availability of a totally free version, is not compatible with the Mio C320. According to their website, the program is not compatible with any program running Windows CE. Even though the Mio does indeed run WinCE, I did try installing it anyway and sure enough, it doesn’t work. Oh well. If the makers of APIC decide to ever make a version for Windows CE, you bet I’ll be first in line to test/try it!
I will say the PC version (especially the free version) is very cool and if you have an ultra-mobile notebook PC with a GPS receiver, definitely give this software a shot.
Test Specs: Approach Systems APIC tested on February 27, 2009 on Mio C320
Pros: Cool looking, but doesn’t work on Mio. Give PC version a shot.
Cons: Does not work on Mio C320.

The software is quite good, agreed. However be wary if you live outside the USA as their databases and map / airspace reservation support is very poor in other countries. Indeed they are so old and patchy that they are illegal at best and dangerous at worse. That said for $9.95 you get a devent system for the USA.
