Amazon.com Product Description
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. What's in the Box
GPS-300 navigator, 12-volt power cable, USB cable, portable vehicle mount, user's manual.

 Smart Design and Graphics June 27, 2008
This is one of those great deals where the looks and interface perform better than the price. My only complaint is that the signal is sometimes weak in my Audi, while in the Dodge truck it's flawless. I believe it has more to do with the film applied to the thick windshield than the GPS as this problem has occurred with previous units. When the GPS has difficulty finding a signal I simply open the sunroof or window and the problem disappears. Besides that, the interface is one of it's best features. It's very intuitive and has large buttons to operate without focussing on it too long. The graphics and maps are very up-to-date.
 nice design. lots of functinalities. poor algorithm. June 22, 2008

i bought this unit last year because:
(+) nice screen size and resolution.
(+) built-in MP3/WMA music player with SD slot
(+) Harman Kardon brand name
and i returned it after 3-week use in multiple states because:
(-) TERRIBLE algorithm and possibly old maps. the software told me to turn left into no-left-turn roads / one-way / into freeway many times.
(-) slow satellite lock-on time, sometimes even minutes. actually slower than my Sprint Mogul.
you don't want to be a GPS horror story.

I recently bought this product for my husband as a birthday present. He loves it. Very, Very easy to use, extremely portable, great big screen, and very accurate. I recommend this product to anyone who has a husband that doesn't stop to ask for directions!!!
Horrible Performance May 31, 2008
I bought two of these units because of the price but they aren't worth any price. I have used two Garmin units in the past but thought why not try this one - how bad can it be? It is just about useless. The screen is great, entering the destination was great - but what matters is the performance and it was terrible. If you went past a turn (testing it) it tried to make you do a U-turn, even though the road I was on was parallel to the road it wanted me to be on. It couldn't recalculate properly, it was determined to send me backwards and if I kept driving eventually it would recalculate like it should have. It did this multiple times. I couldn't believe how stupid it was. My Garmin product never did that. Don't buy it - buy a Garmin. I am.
 HK SHould Keep to Audio Equipment And Stay Away From GPS. May 23, 2008

UTTERLY USELESS GPS. The first one would not find any sats at all. The replacement tells me I am a block away from my house when I am sitting on the front porch. I traded emails with Tech Support and they had me try all of the usual tasks to no avail and then just stopped responding at all. I finally got the update provided by tech support to load, but then it was even more off on its location. Not to mention it takes forever to find sats when it bothers to find them at all. It has never found more than 3 or 4 of them even though more than 10 are available.
STAY Away from this unit at all costs. I am going back to Garmin or TomTom for my GPS needs.
