All the features of a StreetPilot 2720 and more. The StreetPilot 2730 adds real-time XM NavTraffic*, XM WX Weather*, and XM Radio** capabilities, an MP3 player and audio book player. It also adds an integrated FM wireless transmitter that can send all the audio including navigation instructions to your car stereo. It comes ready to go, right out of the box—there's no need to download maps from your PC.

The XM Traffic, Weather, and Audio capabilities give the StreetPilot 2730 great utility, even when drivers know exactly where they are. XM NavTraffic is the first nationwide (Traffic services available only in select cities - see coverage) satellite-based data traffic information service to enable an overlay of current traffic conditions. The StreetPilot 2730 uses this data* to automatically calculate and suggest faster alternative routes long before traffic starts backing up.

Accidents, road construction, or other incidents affecting traffic are graphically represented as icons on the navigation map*. Precise information relating to a traffic incident is also available, including the precise location of the incident, the lanes affected, and the predicted duration*. Roadways are color-coded to indicate directional traffic flow speed*.

Additionally, the StreetPilot 2730 can also receive XM weather data* (basic weather included with separately purchased XM Nav Traffic subscription). Current weather conditions for over 2,000 locations, and weather forecasts for 162 cities, are displayed on-screen*. United States county storm and flood warnings are also highlighted, allowing motorists to make prudent driving decisions*.

The StreetPilot 2730 also offers more than 150 channels of XM satellite radio**, featuring 100-percent commercial-free music, as well as more than 30 channels of news, sports, talk, and entertainment. Users can send XM*, MP3, Audio book, and navigation audio to their car stereo through the StreetPilot’s integrated FM wireless transmitter or 3.5 mm stereo headphone/line-out plug.

The StreetPilot 2730 also comes equipped with an MP3 player that lets users take their personal music collection on the road and browse music by artist, album, song, or genre. Loading music is drag-and-drop easy—there's no need for special software. The StreetPilot 2730 also works as an audio book player, with content available for purchase from Audible.com—featuring more than 70,000 hours of audio programs from more than 200 content partners.

In addition to the turn-by-turn voice prompted navigation available in earlier StreetPilot models, the 2730 (like the 2720) actually announces the name of upcoming streets and points of interest—letting drivers keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic. Highly-detailed maps featuring nearly six million points of interest (POIs) throughout the U. S., Canada, and Puerto Rico (destinations like hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and attractions) come pre-loaded on the unit’s solid-state memory. If a driver strays off-course, the StreetPilot 2730 automatically recalculates a new route.

With POI Loader (Garmin's POI Loader, Independent Review), users can also augment the pre-loaded maps with custom POI’s—such as school zones and safety cameras. In addition, a proximity alert option can warn the driver of upcoming custom POI’s. (This safety feature is designed to help reinforce the importance of traveling at appropriate and legal speeds.)

Garmin’s GXM 30 XM Smart Antenna, which is included with the StreetPilot 2730, receives and processes all XM traffic, weather and audio data. For maximum portability, the magnetic, waterproof, puck-size GXM 30 can be placed on the dashboard or the roof of the vehicle.

The StreetPilot 2730 boasts a WQVGA automotive-grade color TFT display with touchscreen that automatically adjusts the unit’s backlight for optimum viewability in any amount of light. Drivers can also view the map in either a three-dimensional perspective or a top-down track-up or north-up view.

*Separate purchase of XM NavTraffic subscription required (includes XM basic weather data). **Seperate purchase of XM Radio subscription required.

Although the StreetPilot 2730 comes preloaded with City Navigator North America there is space available in the StreetPilot 2730 memory to download other MapSource products to. A PC/USB interface cable is enclosed with each StreetPilot 2730 GPS to allow you to download MapSource™ CD Data between your PC and StreetPilot 2730 GPS. MapSource™ software also allows you to view color maps on a personal computer, with zoom and pan functions for easy map browsing. Users can then select individual maps in areas of interest and transfer the maps to the StreetPilot 2730 GPS or other compatible GPS.

Think of MapSource™ as an atlas that contains many smaller maps. By choosing several of these maps, you can make a map set. This map set can then be transferred to your GARMIN GPS, which allows you to tailor the map detail for the geographic areas you wish to view. For instance, if you are planning a trip by car, your map set might only need to include those maps that are along your intended driving route. MapSource gives you the flexibility to choose the extent of the mapping coverage.

Use the trip and waypoint manager functions to create waypoints, routes, and tracks, and transfer them between your GARMIN GPS and your PC. This is excellent for planning your next outdoor adventure, business trip, vacation, or recreational outing without ever leaving your house.

System Requirements: PC with Windows 2000 or newer operating system; 32MB RAM minimum; 2 GB free hard disk space; CD-ROM drive for CD versions or DVD drive for DVD versions; available serial and/or USB port, 256 color display adapter and monitor (16- bit color required); and mouse or other pointing device; PC Interface cable, Internet access is recommended.
