Desription ......... Your GPS Navigation dreams are about to come true, with the Garmin StreetPilot 2730 Navigator. The StreetPilot 2730 is loaded with more terrific features –at a terrific price – than any other recent GPS Navigator we’ve seen. State of the art, XM-enabled GPS Navigation is here, with features like XM NavTraffic, XM WX Weather and XM Radio capabilities that make this Garmin StreetPilot a hot property from the word “go.” From the preloaded maps to the GSM 30 (a puck-sized Smart Antenna), all of the most popular GPS features are here, along with Garmin innovations that no other GPS Navigators possess. You’ll easily avoid traffic jams and undesirable road conditions with NavTraffic’s overlays that provide satellite-based data that the StreetPilot 2730 picks up effortlessly, providing you with traffic flow information, automatic route calculations and faster alternative routes instantly. XM Weather data for 162 majors cities, and more than 2,000 other locations, 180 channels of commercial-free XM Radio through your vehicle stereo system (or headphones), and MP3 and audio book playback are all yours with the Garmin StreetPilot 2730. The StreetPilot 2730’s turn by turn navigation pre-announces points of interest (POIs -- and the 2730 holds more than six million – with the ability for custom POI loading), while the automotive grade WQVGA touch screen provides 2D and 3D map data that is viewable in any lighting condition. Up to 500 Waypoints are allowed, including names and graphical symbols, and the StreetPilot 2730’s powerful receiver constantly updates to provide GPS Navigation accuracy of better than 15 meters. The Garmin StreetPilot 2730 GPS Navigator is a true champion of the GPS realm.
