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: <br /> <br />http://www.harmandesign.com/download/upgrade/downloads/GPS-810NAupgrade.exe <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. Rating: 5 / 5 This device is GREAT.

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. Rating: 2 / 5 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.

The unit at first would not interface with my verizon phone with the names for calls, numbers were no problem. I downloaded the update and now it works perfectly.I would recommend this gps to anyone looking for a unit with all of the extras.

They only last an hour before you need to plug them up again. Rating: 3 / 5 These units have defective batteries. They only last an hour before you need to plug them up again.

The 810 had all the features I wanted, but had to be hard reset literally every other time I tried to use it. Battery life, regardless of whether using GPS or video was less than 45 minutes after fully charging. Hoped first one was simply a single bad lemon, but purchased and returned three units (same issues) before I gave up.
