I like the look and the features of this unit but very disappointed with it right now because it does not give the best directions and just to give you an idea of what i have been through, my 'Harman Kardon Experience'04/09/08 Bought unit from a seller on Amazon05/27/08 Just over a month later the unit not getting GPS signal, contacted HK, they say they will replace06/03/08 Received replacement (2nd unit)09/15/08 2nd unit not working properly, no signal freezing up, emailed HK09/22/08 Response from HK rep, cant refund will replace again09/24/08 I shipped 2nd unit for replacement10/08/08 2nd Unit accepted at warehouse10/29/08 Replacement not shipped out, contacted HK, email ignored.11/07/08 No response to email, 3rd Unit finally received.Now using the 3 unit and waiting to see how long it lasts. I can never receive a refund for the unit becuase i didn't buy it directly from HK.
Take time for intial set up and hard to use.Not really as good as it brand name
I don't like the product mainly because of two reasons:- It takes a very long time (1-5 min) till it finds the satellite connection.- It cannot really pronounce street names. It's not helpful to hear street names, but it's more trouble.Also, it does not function if it gets sunshine for a while or is left in the car when the temperature is around 60s.I do not recommend this product.
I'm still waiting. I had been pricing gps's on Amazon with text-to-speach in which the actual street name was announced. The delivery was prompt and right on the money. The second time I tried it the gps read waiting for gps signal. I'm extremely dissapointed in this product and hope that Amazon investigates these short comings for me. As per the instructions I charged up the battery, opened the locking device outside, and received the gps signal.
It is vague and does not supply enough enfo. I came across this Harmon Kardon model with a very reasonable price point. The so-called manual or operator's guide that comes with the gps has only the basic start up instrictions. I entered a destination and was on my way. The gps worked like a charm with turns and actual street names being announced. I could not find a support site for Harmon Kardon on the web.
Amazon once again has backed up their return policy and has aloud me to return the gps for a full refund.
Well satisfied with the instrument so far EXCEPT that though the voiced turns are geographically correct the naming of NUMBERED streets is at times way off. E.g. a left turn onto 84th street might be VOICED as a left turn onto 144th street. Can be confusing if one is completely unfamiliar with the area in play.Have asked the company for their comment but received no reply.
