Harman Kardon GPS500 Portable Navigation System A/V Player

GUIDE AND PLAY (Silver)

Easy to use and requiring no installation, the GPS500 is the ultimate all-in-one navigation and entertainment system for vehicle or personal use. Just power it up and follow the simple, color-coded touchscreen menus. With your music and videos, and Harman Kardon's state-of-the-art navigation system, you'll always know what you're doing, where you're going and what will be playing along the way.

Encouraging Wanderlust 21st Century-Style

Who hasn't dreamt of dropping everything and hitting the road for parts unknown? Sounds romantic, until you take a wrong turn or miss the one gas station in a 500-mile radius. For the traveler over the age of 30, the prospect of "winging it" starts to sound more of a headache than a good time. Though spending the night at the Shady Sheets Inn in Watch Your Wallet, USA will make for a great story in ten years, where you are right now feels slightly more paramount. Trust your instincts. Invest in a personal navigator. Even better, invest in a personal navigator that does double duty as a audio and video player, like Harman Kardon's Guide and Play. Because actually getting there is all the fun.

Ready, Quick-Start, GO

With Harman Kardon's state-of-the-art functionality, the GPS500 is ready to go right out of the box. A handy Quick Start feature runs on first use, asking you to set language, distance units, time zone, and time. After that, you're free to move about the US and Canada using the pre-loaded North America base map.

Your Way Or The Highway

With the GPS500, you can have it any way you do, or don't, want it. Travel by Route Priority, Distance Units, or GPS Data. View routes entirely or turn-by-turn. Stop navigation. Add a destination. Or, travel according to what you don't want to encounter: uturns, unpaved roads, toll roads, permit roads, border crossings, ferries -- and for the truly adventerous -- highways.

An Interface That Works With You, Not Against You

The Guide and Play interface is big. Four inches big. Big enough to easily see in a glance as you motor down the road. And it displays 65,000 colors to easily distinguish waypoints from detours. Two Color Modes give you optimal brightness whether Day or Night. Plus, it mounts quickly to your window, dashboard, or console with the included hardware.

Music On The Go-Go

The Guide and Play will give you hours of reprieve from all that noise in your head with its internal MP3/WMA player. Created to work seamlessly with Windows Media Player, syncing music is a snap. You can listen to music through the built-in speaker, or connect it to your car stereo using a mini-jack RCA cable (sold separately). Plug in the cigarette lighter power adapter and you'll have both non-stop music and a freshly charged Guide and Play.

Keep Everybody Happy

If the pushing and shoving coming from the backseat has you contemplating a quick get away at the next rest stop, fear not. The Guide and Play supports MPEG4 and WMV9 video formats. Now the kiddies can settle down to their favorite video while you fantasize about more emotionally healthy things, like what the odds are that a hot, blonde model in a Ferrari will appear in your rear view mirror.
