The StreetPilot 2720 is a GPS automotive navigation 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 POIs, letting drivers keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. Download the Voice Guidance Language of your choice from Garmin's website: choose from male or female voices for most available languages - American English, American Spanish, Australian English, Brazilian Portuguese, British English, Canadian French, Danish, Dutch, European French, European Portuguese, European Spanish, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish. New voices are added frequently; check back for updates!

The StreetPilot 2720 has 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 NavigatorT North America NT V7 maps-containing detailed road maps throughout the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This map database features nearly six million points of interest-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.

Around 750MB extra memory is available for download of additional mapping from MapSource products.

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.

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 GTM10 receives data from selected FM broadcast stations in select cities throughout the United States and Europe (not yet available in Canada). 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 alterntive routes based on the traffic information.
