Text-To-Speech
and Optional Traffic Capability
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 10, an optional FM RDS-TMC traffic receiver that
receives digital information (where available) on traffic, road
construction, and weather-related tie-ups. The GTM 10 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 10, 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™ North America v7 NT maps—containing 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
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.
