Hitachi MMP-501

Large 5in screen, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, Music and video playback, User interface, Good volume levels, Competitive price

Chunky and heavy, Entertainment offering lacks features, Somewhat slow to pick up a GPS signal, Large and bulky window mount, Poor battery life

If you can overlook the size and the rather basic entertainment features, this GPS does the job and for what it offers, the MMP-501 comes in at a very respectable price point compared with many other units on the market.

Large screen. Video playback. Quick route and re-route calculation.

Bulky design. Lacks text-to-speech. Poor battery life.

A portable GPS with a large 5-inch screen, music and video playback, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Easy to use, nice and clear

Shiny strip reflects the sun

Solid design and construction ; Intuitive interface with LOTS of POI's ; Excellent coverage of speed/red light cameras. Especially handy when traveling to unfamiliar areas (which we often do) ; Excellent Bluetooth support. Even works with my iPhone ;...

No text-to-speech street directions (I don't really miss it) ; Large design makes it hard to place in some cars ; 2 hour battery life. Battery built in (not user replaceable AFAIK) ; Some phones' address books are not presented on the dialing screen;...

use the avi cable to connect to ipod and watch movies on it .hence love the big screen . its great easy to use system. get over 2 hrs battery life

crusty battery

Big screen

Slow to start ; Bad directions that dont take into account the traffic laws ; Outdated maps and no timeline for an update ; Power input broke within 3 months ; Window mount broke within 6 months

Very good all round Nav.System.That is why I bought the Hitachi MMP501 and it does the job very well. Excellent operational instructions and ease of implementation

The velvet type carry bag is a good idea,but incorporated with a protective case for storage and handling/carrying would be ideal

Clear and accurate directions ; Fast recalculating ; Considerably extensive list of POIs ; Mounts well ; Large, responsive and intuitive screen

No alternative options for a male voice, but that'd be just me: seeing that I think all gps are equipped with female voices ; No tolls nor signs such as Stop signs and No Right Turn signs as well as traffic (I think so far) recognised. But I'm not sure...
