Garmin StreetPilot 7500 Discontinued

The StreetPilot 7500 has a 7-inch touch-screen display designed for larger vehicles such as RVs, semi-trucks, and buses. Garmin's StreetPilot 7500 comes preloaded with City Navigator NT detailed maps, displays navigation, entertainment, traffic and weather on a large sunlight-readable display - with dead reckoning capabilities to provide superior urban navigation.

Dead Reckoning
Unlike StreetPilot 7200, the 7500 includes dead reckoning sensors to track your vehicle's course when your GPS signal is blocked for example in urban areas or tunnels. If you lose GPS coverage in areas with tall buildings or tunnels, the StreetPilot 7500 keeps on navigating. Minimal installation is required for the dead-reckoning feature.

Traffic
Monitor traffic tie-ups with the addition of an optional FM TMC traffic receiver* or GXMT 30 smart antenna. By adding traffic services and a receiver/antenna to your SteetPilot 7500, it notifies you of accidents, road construction, and weather-related traffic delays before they are encountered, and then offers an alternate route. Simply touch the screen icon to calculate a new route.
NOTE FOR CANADA: Watch for details of FM traffic services in Canada; not yet available.

Weather
View real-time weather conditions with the optional GXMT 30 Smart Antenna and a XM NavTraffic subscription. Find out the local forecast for your route or campsite down the road. Available weather information includes current conditions, city forecasts, and warnings for tornados, thunderstorms, and floods. NOTE FOR CANADA: Watch for details of XM weather services in Canada; not yet available.

Entertainment
The StreetPilot 7500 also includes features to keep you entertained during your travels, including an internal MP3 player, XM radio, and audio books. The built-in MP3 player lets users browse music by artist, album, song, or genre. Music can be loaded onto an SD card and is "drag-and-drop" easy - no special software is required. The XM Radio (with the optional GXM 30 Smart Antenna and XM Satellite Radio subscription) features 150-plus channels of commercial-free music, sports, news, talk, and entertainment. The StreetPilot 7500 and 7200 are also compatible with www.audible.com, a subscription-based audio book service. All music or speech files can be emitted over the vehicle's existing speakers, through the StreetPilot's built-in FM wireless transmitter or via the unit's headphone/line-out jack. The entertainment audio is muted when navigation instructions are given.

Street Navigator
The StreetPilot 7500 and 7200 include intuitive navigation with automatic route calculation; voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions; 2D or 3D map view; and automatic rerouting if a motorist strays off course. The unit speaks street names, so users will know to "turn right on Main Street." Enter a series of destinations, and the unit will automatically sort them to provide an efficient route. With its POI Loader software, Garmin has also made it possible for customers to augment pre-loaded maps with custom POIs such as school zones and safety cameras.

Dead Reckoning Installation Tip Installation of the 7500 dead reckoning cable does NOT have to be performed by a qualified technician. Garmin has confirmed: "The reference to a qualified installation tech in the STP 7500 manual is a carry over from the STP 2660 and 2730."

The face of the StreetPilot 7500 only has one button - an on/off switch. The side and back of the unit houses integrated internal speaker, mini USB port, AV input, SD card slot and 3.5 mm audio jack. A wireless infrared alphanumeric remote control that allows easy operation of the device from a distance is standard equipment.
