Garmin
StreetPilot 2720
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 2720’s 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.
For
drivers in congested metropolitan areas, Garmin is offering
the GTM 11, an optional FM RDS-TMC traffic receiver that
receives digital information (where available) on traffic,
road construction, and weather-related tie-ups. The GTM
11 receives data from selected FM broadcast stations in
select cities throughout the United States and Europe. This
optional feature lets drivers see congested areas via a
color-coded map. When connected to the GTM 11, the StreetPilot
2720 uses this data to automatically calculate and suggest
alternative routes based on the traffic information.
The
StreetPilot 2720 also boasts a new WQVGA, color, automotive-grade,
sunlight-readable, touchscreen display that automatically
adjusts the unit’s 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™
Europe, pre-loaded with all the detailed maps for western
Europe. This map database features nearly six million POIs
—including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and
attractions.
Garmin
has also added the ability for customers to augment the
pre-loaded maps with custom POIs from industry-standard
CSV files, such as school zones and safety cameras. In addition,
a proximity-alert feature is included to optionally warn
the driver of upcoming custom POIs.
In
addition to point-to-point navigation, the StreetPilot 2720
can calculate the most efficient route between multiple
destinations—a 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.
