Garmin StreetPilot 2720 Car GPS Receiver

Pros: User interface. Excellent display technology, 3D, text to speech, Proximity Points of Interest and more.

Cons: Early release firmware (upgradeable) was less than 100% robust. PC required for PPOI.

The Bottom Line: This is a really neat device. I have had many GPS units and this is second on my list. I STILL prefer the 276c, mind you.

Review: Update - November 30, 2005 Note that Garmin has released a 512 Meg memory chip that works in the 276c, which is the preferred alternative I propose for those considering this model. That is enough to cover about half of the continent in one load. ...

Pros: Spectacularly inventive routes you may never take otherwise, touchscreen is fantastic, many routing options.

Cons: She sometimes mispronounces things. UC Berkeley comes out "Uck Berkeley", which is about right.

The Bottom Line: I have not found another mobile GPS with the features, accuracy, and flair that the Garmin 2720 has. I highly recommend this unit.

Review: You can get specs from www.garmin.com. I am not here to help with specs, I will instead give you a real life example of usage. Our first experience with Garmin's 2720,(which we lovingly refer to as Lucy), was on a 2-week roadtrip from northern ...

Pros: Great audio and announcement timing, overall impressed with ability to find best route.

Cons: Power clip slides out of unit easily

The Bottom Line: Full feature GPS that performs well, exceed my expectations

Review: Great GPS, other than going to a bigger screen (pros and cons to that) this GPS has every thing you need and works great. I purchased the Street Pilot about 14 months ago and its has been great. Haven't gotten lost since. Has a great library of ...

Pros: Very easy to use, customizable, easy to see. Great value for price

Cons: Occasionally route is somewhat odd.

The Bottom Line: If you can afford it, get it. This is a great unit for anybody to use

Review: I read a lot of reviews before purchasing my first GPS, it was a Magellen Roadmate 800. Without going into detail (you can read my review of the 800) I returned it after 50 days. The 2720 is so superior to the Magellen it isn't even funny. The ...

Pros: Excellent display. Clear, healthy audio. Excellent, easily updated database,.

Cons: None, this system seems solid.

The Bottom Line: Excellent product. Zero complaints.

Review: I've owned two GPS systems. The first was part of the car in a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid-Navi, so I was spoiled with audio through the car's AM/FM/CD system. It would fade the sound system to play the next voice prompt and the fade up the tunes. ...

Pros: Precise, turn by turn, directions with plenty of time to prepare.

Cons: Newer roads not yet in system.

The Bottom Line: If you travel much you will wish you had bought it earlier.

Review: I travel extensively, on my job, all over the country. Frequently I drive but occasionally I will need to fly and rent a car. If you have ever found yourself in a strange city you can really appreciate this product. It not only gives you precise ...

Pros: Easy to use. Cool features and good points of interest.

Cons: Still a little pricey. Not every point of interest is available.

Review: Nice piece of equipment. Had it about 2 weeks now, overall very good. I can't wait to take it on the majors trips this ...

Pros: Good audio instructions, automatically varying display zoom levels, street name completion, comprehensive destination database.

Cons: 100% of precious screen real estate should be dedicated to the map.

Review: I have StreetPilot experience with an older unit and purchased the 2720. Its use is highly intuitive, the touch screen is simple, and it even has a remote for when the unit is just out of reach. None of the complaints that I have seen have appeared in my ...

Pros: Great, portable GPS

Cons: wish I had waited for the XM Version!

Review: have had a ton of Garmin products, and they keep getting better. Great screen, voice promps, etc etc. Having the entire country's maps is great, and the accuracy keeps getting better. Just update the firmware as Garmin releases ...

Pros: Screen changes to night colors automatically. Lots of interfaces and features.

Cons: Deleting a waypoint or destination seems difficult and I do make U-turns.

Review: I was in the middle of the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge with an overpowering desire for a steak lunch. The Garmin took me turn by turn to Klamath FAlls, to a Sizzler, for a very adaquate lunch (the alternative was a granola bar) and then back to ...
