Harman Kardon GPS-300 4-Inch Portable GPS Navigator and MP3 Player

The 4-inch widescreen LCD display offers a wider map view than standard GPS navigators.

Harmon Kardon is lauded within the trade for its high-quality loudspeakers and A/V components, and now the company has leveraged its expertise to develop the Guide + Play GPS-300, a portable GPS navigator with an integrated MP3/WMA player. The GPS-300 sports a sleek, 4-inch widescreen interface that gives users access to a robust navigation system with a simple touch of a finger. The interface lets you toggle between device menus with ease, perform a point-of-interest (POI) search to find nearby restaurants, coffee shops, or bookstores, and access the music player at a moment’s notice. More significantly, the GPS-300’s navigation and music functions are tightly integrated, so you can see and hear all the important navigation information even while playing MP3 files–a rarity among portable navigation devices. Users can even set volume priority between the two functions.

The 4-inch widescreen LCD display, meanwhile, offers a larger map view when in GPS mode than standard navigators, with a 480 x 272 pixel resolution to ensure a clear, crisp viewing experience. It’s also a breeze to supplement the built-in U.S. and Canada basemap thanks to the Secure Digital (SD) card slot, which accepts cards as large as 4 GB. As a result, you can install European street maps, rural U.S. street maps, topographical camping maps, and a host of other map types. And, of course, you can add MP3 and WMA files via the cards as well.

The GPS-300 offers tightly integrated navigation and music functions, with the ability to prioritize the volume levels.

A pocket-sized, virtually invisible portable mount secures the slim GPS-300 for automotive use, with a ball-and-socket joint providing an almost unlimited number of viewing angles. As a result, you can easily position the screen so that it can be seen from anywhere in the vehicle. Other details include 3 million points of interest, 2 GB of internal flash memory, a USB 2.0 high-speed interface, a rechargeable battery that runs for up to five hours per charge, a 12-volt power cable for in-vehicle charging, and a carrying case that’s perfect for travel.

The GPS-300 measures 4.5 by 3 by 0.8 inches (W x H x D), weighs 7 ounces, and carries a one-year warranty.

Customer Review: Harman Kardon GPS300`NA
Great and inexpensive GPS system. Easy to operate out of the box after following the battery charging procedure. Unit automatically switches from day to night mode. The unit includes maps for Anchorage, Alaska which was not denoted in the description, the description stated that maps of Canada and America were preloaded. Clarification was requested but not received in a timely manner. I made the purchase with the risk that the unit was inoperable in Alaska.
Customer Review: Wow… the other reviewers are dead wrong about this one.
I purchased the HK GPS300. I also have a Tom Tom One XLS. Let me tell you….there is no comparison. No GPS is perfect and I understand they to guide and help and not to think for the drivers, but the HK GPS300 is not the answer. I saw the rave reviews and there was a great deal on this unit at Sears, so I thought I’d give it a try for my other car….
Here is my out of the box experience with the HK GPS300… took forever to find GPS Signal, but finally did…. did not have my home address, even though my house has been here since 1973 (my street was listed though). The HK300 said I had reached my destination more than 1/4 mile before I was at the house. I checked for the grocery store down the street. It did have the grocery store in it’s POI database, but said it was only 600ft my house when it is over a mile a way! I don’t expect perfection, but I would expect to be in the general vicinity of the destination otherwise what good is it?

I’ll try this thing for a few more days before returning it, but there is no comparison with this unit and a Tom Tom or a Garmin…Sorry HK, but only people who have never used a GPS before would give this item a favorable review. BTW.. I called HK to ask what the deal was (maybe my maps were out of date, etc…..) the guy said I don’t know what to tell you, but it is, what it is…your unit has the most up to date maps and I really don’t know what to tell you other than that. …..What do I do when I spend $$$$ on something that terrible, I take it back and get my money.
