Harman Kardon is still relatively new to the GPS game, but it looks to be increasing its presence in a fairly big way today, introducing three new units in its "Guide + Play" series. Those include the low-end GPS-310 model (a follow-up to the GPS-300), the slightly more capable GPS-510, and the top-end GPS-810. Each of those pack a 4-inch widescreen display (or 4.3-inches on the GPS-810), along with text-to-speech functionality, 2GB of internal memory and, of course, all the usual GPS and PMP features you'd expect from a device dubbed "Guide + Play." The GPS-510 ups things a bit with real-time traffic info, additional video options, and support for SDHC cards, while the GPS 810 tops things off with a wireless rotary controller (seen above), an FM transmitter, and built-in Bluetooth for hands-free calling. Look for the whole lot to be available next month, with the GPS-310, 510 and 810 setting you back $350, $450, and $600, respectively.

They call it "a breakthrough rotary wireless controller" but it's the same one on the Drive+Play 2...
The one thing missing from this thing (in the description at least), is an iPod interface.

Does this support an iPod like the Drive+Play? It only appears to access SD cards for music/video/photos.

They need to step it up a notch if they want anyone to buy that damn thing. Nothing on that impresses me, hell the lower end GPS's are better than that.

can someone please tell me why there isnt any good PMP+GPS available in US/Europe ? I mean something like 7inches, a hard drive/SDHC, possibility of having Tomtom/Other popular Satnav software and playing movies, music...
It seems it is reserved only to Korea. Is it for legal reasons?
I want to invest in something that I can use in my car, but also in the train or the plane or anywhere...
