I've been trying to use this GPS for 8 months but will be replacing it with something that actually works. The Harman Kardon GPS-500 should never have been released for sale. from Amazon.com It is a great Media player dfor movies , TV shows and MP3's for long flights or layovers. The UI is great and easy to navigate. The out of box experience was a great one it comes with an AC adapter that converts into a USB charger (most of the other guys sell this as an additional purchase) and the car adapter. The mount is small and collapseble for easy storage in a glove box or handbag. from Amazon.com I have used other expensive GPS systems before and heard alot of talk about all of them so I was really confused when I went to purchase my own. I chose the Harman Kardon guide + play 500. from Amazon.com Gets you to where you need to go. I just buy things that work... I am not going to analyze a GPS that gets me from A to B just fine. There is nothing to Analyze from Amazon.com I tried hard to like it. Because I Like Harman Kardon and because it looked nice. And the MP3 player and DVD player. from Amazon.com I have returned 2 now...the first one just quite working and the second one couldn't receive a signal. The first one was not an out of the box failure, but the second was. from Amazon.com I was generally pleased with this GPS system--my first--when it worked. I liked the big screen and it was pretty user-friendly. from Amazon.com Accuracy within a few blocks. I am sad to say that I have had some terrible experiences where the unit failed to locate an address, completely failed to give proper directions to an address, and on another occasion completely flipped out (must have lost the GPS signal) and went crazy I had to pull off the highway and reboot the thing inorder to get my location correct (and that not counting another time it just flat out lead me down the wrong road). This product has the best and the worst qualities. from Amazon.com I am extremely disappointed in the performance of this product. We purchased it before a 2 month vacation so we could get around unfamiliar places more easily. Once we had our hotels booked I tried locating them on the GPS-500. Almost none of our hotels were in it's list. from Amazon.com The bad points make me want to send it back: * The maps aren't very complete and they CANNOT be updated. Harmon Kardon's support is nonexistent and they certainly are far from providing map updates. In several cities in Northern California I've looked for restaurants and cafes and found almost nothing, when just driving down main street tells me there's tons. from Amazon.com
