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.

The StreetPilot 2720 offers clear, easy-to-read 3D directions to your destination, and state of the art text-to-speech and traffic interface capabilities. See the 3D system in more detail.

Preloaded maps are available and ready to use right out of the box. View larger.

A convenient touch screen allows for quick access to features such as maps, recent locations, food, and hotels. View larger.

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.

Locations: Pinpoint your exact location for easy travel, then save these destinations for later use.

Trip Distance: Calculate your arrival time, and keep track of your speed in relation to it, for complete control.

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.

NT North America maps, 12-volt power cable with external speaker,
alphanumeric remote control, PC/USB interface cable, AC power adapter,

quick-reference setup guide.
