 Absolutely Perfect GPS August 4, 2008
This device is GREAT. I drive big trucks at work and the 5 button remote makes using this device easy to use without stretching over the dashboard to touch the screen. I also have an Apple iPhone and it works great with the new North American software update available on the website:

Many of my friends at work have GPS devices from Garmin. When they drive in my Suburban they are supprised to see that the obscure -- and usually unmapped -- oilfield roads are on the GPS-810. They also comment on how fast my device updates while driving and how detailed the maps are shown in several display types on the screen.
I received the GPS-810 as a gift on Dec 25, 2007. Before that time I had a Harman Kardon GPS that was a $500 add-on to my Harley Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide existing Harman Kardon radio system. It works great becuase it was simple and safe. The engineers at Harman Kardon think of everything. On my Harman Kardon motorcycle GPS, the sound mutes when I need to look down at the dash to see where to drive.
 Harman Kardon 810 (HK810) More like a PMP with a GPS built in. July 17, 2008
The Harman Kardon 810 is definitely a good GPS system. It is one of the smoothes navigation units that I have ever seen. It is well built, sleek and beautiful. The voice prompts are clear and precise. It will get you to where you need to go but with a few extra turns.
I would recommend this system to people that want more than just a GPS System. I would recommend it to people that want a PMP with a good GPS built in. The screen is big and beautiful just like screen of the PSP. It plays videos with great clarity and plays your mp3 without any problems. Just load your 8GB SD card and your good to go.
I love using the HK810 more as a movie player and a MP3 player more than a GPS system. Since I know my way around town most of the times I get to use my MP3s and built in radio transmitter and I'm jamming my way down to Costco.
The HK-810 is not a perfect GPS system but it will do the job.
Pros:
Very Portable and easy to use.
A lot of useful functions - Video, MP3, Phone, FM Transmitter
Beautiful Screen and nice clear speaker
Can hold 8GB SDHC card possibly 16Gb. (16Gb not tested yet)
Nice mounting bracket.
Remote Control
Traffic Report
Windows CE 5 Operating System
Cons:
Battery drain is fast if not plugged into power.
Maps are not updated. (Uses Navigon 2006)
Can not alter route to add shortcuts and make most direct route.
FM transmitter is kind of weak.
Sometimes freezes
Made the Right Choice!! July 14, 2008

I am a first time GPS user. I read all the reviews here plus at other websites and I was very hesitant in purchasing this unit due to the system locking up issue that most people has mentioned. But for me I was looking for a unit that had it all! And for right now, this is the only unit with GPS, MP3, Video, Pictures, and Bluetooth Phone connectivity..... I searched for a comparable unit with the same features in all the major electronic stores and only found ones with only GPS/MP3. Well anyways, I'm sure you figured it out....I crossed my fingers and purchased this unit..... It's been one month now and I could be jinxing myself for writing this review, but here goes:
PROS:
* The unit has not locked up on me yet... WOOHOO!!
* The GPS is great! I live in Austin, TX and already made a trip to Dallas and to North Oklahoma. And the GPS was accurate. I only had one instance when the unit had erratic recalculations (lots of U-turns!) But for the most part the map and voice navigation is accurate.
* The MP3 sounds awesome! Simple to use menu and I use a SD card reader to drag-n-drop my music into my 8G SD card
* The Video also plays and sounds fantastic!! I played a couple of movies and plays beautifully as most portable DVD players
* I have some pictures, but haven't used this much...But what I do have, looks great!!
* The Phone connectivity is awesome!! I have a Nokia 6085 and it had no issues finding it. Address book downloaded perfectly. The mic and speaker on the unit is crystal clear and I use it quite often. This is an excellent feature for handsfree phone conversation while you're driving!!
* The dash and windshield mounting accessories are very good
* The best feature I love is the remote control knob!! You can have this conveniently anywhere in the vehicle and go thru all the menus with ease!!
CONS:
* I have to agree with everyone about the battery. The battery life sucks and this will not be a good unit if relying on battery life. For me, the HK810 is only for my car, so mine is always plugged in and this con doesn't really pertain to me.
* I have seen the new firmware at HK website, but haven't uploaded it to my unit since it's working fine. (I always say, why fix it if it's not broken!)
* No current map updates
* Did not come with a full manual
For me, I think I made a good decision for my first GPS!! But like I said, I might have jinx myself and you might hear from me again!
 Piece of Junk July 14, 2008
Have to reset it every time I needed it to use it. Have your paper clip ready it shuts off every time it goes into standby. FM transmitter sucks, it berly works, the bluetooth sucks too, it takes forever to sink up to your phone. I'm returning the product and go with a name brand instead.
 A firmware update is available. July 11, 2008

The firmwear update is up. I see alot of people giving the battery a con. At 3.5 hours for movies (that look and sound great) it beats alot of DVD players when on the plane. Longer time and fits in my pocket. I'm having difficulty getting my Samsung SGH-D307 to pair up. I got it once then it dropped within a couple minutes and haven't got it to work yet. My phone works with the Uconnect in my van so I think it just I missing something. Otherwise so far I really like the unit. Haven't had any route errors that others are talking about. That may have been fixed when I loaded the new firmwear.
