Fair use rationale for Image:Mio-logo.gif

Image:Mio-logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Still subsidiary of MiTAC?

MIO TECHNOLOGY is really still a subsidiary of MiTAC? I can't found any reference of this neither in MiTAC or Mio sites:

http://www.mio-tech.com/ http://www.mitac.com/

Watching "Web Archive" shots records, it seems that MIO was a Mitac brand in 2003: http://web.archive.org/web/20030606195353/mitac.mic.com.tw/digiwalker/

But, any reference to Mitac name was removed in 2004: http://web.archive.org/web/20040606093306/http://www.justmio.com/

Ok, I found also these pages, where I can see the same addresses....: http://www.mio-tech.com/contact-mio-technology.htm http://www.mitac.com/micweb/Wide_BranchesMain.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thepisu (talk • contribs) 10:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Both of those external links are now dead. On the mio.com pages there is now a copyright notice at the lower right corner of the screen: "© 2011 MiTAC Intl. All Rights Reserved." At http://www.mio.com/about-mio-brand-story.htm it states that Mio Technology is a subsidiary of MiTAC. — Quicksilver^{T @} 17:43, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

fbl file format

Mio satnavs use a '.fbl' file format. This isn't mentioned on the page.

Anyone know anything about the file format. Has it been reverse engineered? Can people edit/create their own fbl formatted map, or generate free maps from OpenStreetMap? (as you can with garmin units)

Update tag

I've added an "update" tag because the article does not seem to contain information about the current company situation or the current product line. Looking at the articles for Garmin and TomTom one can see a major difference in the up-to-datedness. --RenniePet (talk) 22:44, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
