The StreetPilot 2720 is a premium GPS automotive navigator that
offers text-to-speech and traffic interface capabilities.
In addition to the turn-by-turn voice prompted navigation
available in earlier StreetPilot models, the 2720s text-to-speech
functionality allows the unit to audibly announce the name of
upcoming streets and points of interest (POIs), letting drivers
keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic
and tricky roadways.
Monitor traffic tie-ups with the addition of an optional FM TMC
traffic receiver. By adding traffic services and a receiver to
your StreetPilot 2720, it notifies you of accidents, road
construction, and weather-related traffic delays before they are
encountered, and then offers an alternate route. Simply touch the
screen icon to calculate a new route.
The StreetPilot 2720 also boasts a new WQVGA, color,
automotive-grade, sunlight-readable, touchscreen display that
automatically adjusts the units backlight for optimum viewing in
any amount of light. Drivers can view the map in a
three-dimensional perspective, or a top-down track-up or north-up
view.
The StreetPilot 2720 comes preprogrammed with City Navigator North
America NT mapscontaining detailed road maps throughout the entire
United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features
nearly six million POIs including hotels, restaurants, gas
stations, ATMs, and attractions.
As an added benefit, you can now import customized points of
interest with the help of Garmin's free POI Loader software. The
possibilities are endless upload safety cameras or school zones,
and you will receive a warning if you are traveling too fast. In
addition, an optional proximity-alert feature notifies you of
upcoming custom POIs.
In addition to point-to-point navigation, the StreetPilot 2720 can
calculate the most efficient route between multiple destinationsa
real time-saver for realtors, sales forces, and errand-runners.
Drivers can also tell the unit to avoid specific areas or road
segments when calculating a route.
