Garmin StreetPilot 2720 Portable GPS Navigator
from: Garmin
If you're looking for a premium vehicle GPS navigation system, one with
text-to-speech and the ability to gather real-time traffic information,
the StreetPilot 2720 is the answer. In addition to the turn-by-turn
voice-prompted navigation available in earlier StreetPilot models, the
2720's text-to-speech functionality allows the unit to audibly announce
the names of upcoming streets and points of interest, letting you keep
your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky
roadways.
At the heart of the 2720 is a new control system that
features a widescreen, automotive-grade touchscreen display that
automatically dims and brightens based on ambient light conditions.
While the 454 x 240 pixel touchscreen interface is designed for ease of
use, the 2720 also ships with a wireless remote control that can be
used to operate the device's functions.
Meanwhile, an integrated dash-mounting system provides easy adjustment
and quick release, or you can use the included "bean bag" mount if you
don't want to add a mount to your dash. An included speaker attachment
that is built into the 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter enables the
2720 to deliver voice prompts. An internal antenna that communicates
with up to 12 GPS satellites is provided, as is a USB port for PC
connectivity. There's also an MCX-type connector for hooking up an
optional external GPS antenna. And if you need waterproofing, the 2720 is up to
the challenge; it meets IEC 60529 IPX7 standards, which means it's
submersible in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
Finding
your way with the 2720 starts with inputting a location on the
touchscreen. Next, the unit's text-to-speech feature speaks to you just
like a back seat driver, telling you the names of streets and when to
turn and in what direction. And if you happen to miss a turn, don't
worry--the 2720 automatically calculates a new route to your
destination. In addition to point-to-point navigation, the 2720 can
calculate the most efficient route between multiple destinations--a
real time-saver for realtors, salespeople, and errand-runners. You can
also tell the unit to avoid specific areas or road segments when
calculating a route. You can also select a three-dimensional mapping
perspective, or choose from several 2-D overhead viewing options.
What's more, audible and visual navigation instructions and warnings
help you navigate more quickly while keeping your eyes on the road.
Another time- and frustration-saving feature of the 2720 is the
database of preloaded maps and points of interest. Gone are the days of
uploading partial maps from your computer to your GPS device: the 2720
has them all built in. The unit comes preloaded with Garmin's highly
detailed MapSource City Navigator NT North America maps of the entire
United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Finding points of interest
along your route is made easy with the 2720's huge built-in database of
nearly six million hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and
attractions. Garmin has also made it easy for users to upload custom
points of interest--now you can add school zones or safety cameras to
your database. You can even turn on a proximity alert to notify you of
upcoming custom points of interest.
Garmin really kicks the power of the 2720 up a notch with the addition
of real-time traffic information. This optional service will display
congested areas on a color-coded map, allowing you to avoid traffic by
simply pushing a button that calculates a new route. All this wizardry
is made possible by the new Garmin GTM 10 receiver that connects to the
2720 and other select Garmin products. Note that while the GTM 10
receives digital data from specific FM broadcast stations in select
major metro areas throughout the United States and Europe, these
traffic services are available only in select cities where coverage
exists. The service requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and, in
some cases, a subscription to enable these traffic capabilities.

- Portable GPS navigator
- Ready to use right out of the box
- Preloaded City Navigator® street maps for the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico
