The GPS was delivered in a timely matter, I'm fairly happy with the unit, although didn't have some of the potions I was expecting
 The product is awesome but I would never trust amazon or the seller March 3, 2008

The product is amazing and i am using it now. But i bought it from Crutchfield and not amazon. I placed the order on amazon as they had it in stock and i also opted for expedited shipping. This was done on a Thursday and i expected it to arrive to me by the week after that wednesday. I hadn't heard anything from them until tuesday evening and so i just thought of calling them to check what the status of the order was and there i get a answer saying that THE ITEM IS NOT IN STOCK and we are waiting on it to come in stock. I was like why did you guys not think of informing me by email or phone that this was the case. So the guy said I DON'T KNOW AND WE WERE JUST GOING TO WAIT UNTIL WE GOT IT AND SEND IT TO YOU WHENEVER WE GOT IT. Jesus christ!!! I WOULD NEVER TRUST AMAZON ON ITS WORDS OF "IN STOCK" AND DELIVERY TIMES.
Sorry but my first time shopping at amazon and this is what i get....nah i ain't shopping here again dude...i shopped at crutchfield and i absolutely loved their response and i ordered it on a wednesday and i got it on friday.....NO CHARGE FOR A TWO DAY DELIVERY TOO....cudn't get any better!!!

I bought it December 16, 2007 and Its already been replaced by the manufacturer because it can't get a GPS signal.

After doing much research on GPS device's I decided to take the plunge. I had a hard time making up my mind but finally decided on the HK 310 and I'm glad I did. I tested it around my area and was very happy with it. I have turned the GPS on in at least six different areas over a fifty mile radius and haven't had to wait more than one to two minutes to pick up a signal. It was easy to program and the graphics were top notch. I purposely took wrong turns to see how the unit rerouted me and it was perfect. The unit is very well made it seems and in my opinion is the best looking unit that I saw. The only issue I may have is that the sound/speaker could be a little better especially considering that Harmon Kardon is in the audio bussiness. But other than that I am very happy and satisfied with this unit.
4.3" widescreen display w/TTS for $300 December 19, 2007

Pros:
. 4.3" (480x272) screen with text-to-speech for $300.
. Integrated antenna
. Clean, uncluttered, and mostly intuitive interface
. Destinations easy to enter - more on this feature below
. Large "buttons"
. Touch screen requires only a light touch
. Nicely contoured case with a high quality feel
. Suction cup mount nicely designed
. Unit clips in and removes from the mount very easily
. Charges via the USB cable (undocumented)
. Boots instantly
. Volume dial
. Bright screen
. Built-in MP3 player
. A nice compact slipcover is included
Cons:
. It takes awhile to lock on to the satellites. I haven't timed it, but it's much slower than my Garmin Street Pilot 2720.
. I haven't figured out how to save the "current location" to a favorite. Please tell me how to do this as this could be a deal breaker!
. Screen brightness doesn't automatically adjust to the conditions. It switches between Day and Night modes automatically, but not the brightness. Fortunately changing the brightness requires only a few touches.
. Screen can be hard to read in bright daylight.
. Only one choice of female voice. I like the Australian English voice on my Garmin.
. The spoken directions are not as concise as my Garmin, and the unit tends to repeat itself, which is either helpful or annoying depending on my mood.
. No option to prompt the unit to repeat itself, such as if you don't hear the directions over a loud stereo. In fairness, I don't know of any portable GPS units that offer this feature.
. The map is missing some streets vs. my Garmin
. A few options are non-intuitive to reach. This isn't a major problem since there aren't that many options vs. some of the more high-end GPS units, but that makes these few occasions all the more vexing.
. Does not display speed. I like this feature of my Garmin. There also is no "trip computer" although I don't use this feature much.
Top three features:
1. Large high resolution wide screen.
2. Text-to-Speech.
3. Destination entry feature:
As you enter letters in a city or street name, any letters that aren't possible are grayed out. For example, maybe you enter a city name beginning with H. You might then see all letters except A,E,I,O,U,Y grayed out because there are no cities with any other character following the H. This makes entry easier because (A) the next key is easier to find because there are fewer letters to choose from, and (B) touching the wrong key is less likely.
If I were buying a new GPS for myself, it would probably be a Garmin 750 for half again the price, but at the $300 price-point, the mostly minor compromises are acceptable.
