Garmin StreetPilot 2720 GPS Receiver

I either suffer from technophobia (fear of technology) or am a technological laggard as the marketeers call people who adopt "new" technology just before it is superseded by the next wave in the product life cycle.

Uncharacteristically for me,... Read full review »

Best GPS I found to date

byispi May 14, 2006
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very easy to use, customizable, easy to see. Great value for price
Cons Occasionally route is somewhat odd.
Recommended it? Yes

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing my first GPS, it was a Magellen Roadmate 800. Without going into detail (you can read my review of the 800) I returned it after 50 days.

The 2720 is so superior to the Magellen it isn't even funny.

The screen is very easy to see, even in... Read full review »

You can get specs from www.garmin.com. I am not here to help with specs, I will instead give you a real life example of usage.

Our first experience with Garmin's 2720,(which we lovingly refer to as Lucy), was on a 2-week roadtrip from northern California to San Diego, with many stops in... Read full review »

Very Good Overall, I am happy with my choice after researching GPS units

byrickb473 Jan 3, 2006
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros color touch screen, extremely easy to use, automatic rerouting when missing a turn
Cons power chord, quirks in route selection when calculating a route, instruction manual
Recommended it? Yes

I agree that the Garmin 2720 is a very good unit overall. it does have a few quirks in the way it selects your route to a destination. some of this was in the preferences I chose in the parameters of the unit. playing with those settings did help some, but not all of the troubles. I have had a few... Read full review »

The next step in high end transportable automotive GPS

18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros User interface. Excellent display technology, 3D, text to speech, Proximity Points of...
Cons Early release firmware (upgradeable) was less than 100% robust. PC required for PPOI.
Recommended it? Yes

Update - November 30, 2005

Note that Garmin has released a 512 Meg memory chip that works in the 276c, which is the preferred alternative I propose for those considering this model. That is enough to cover about half of the continent in one load.

Excellent choice!

Pros Excellent display. Clear, healthy audio. Excellent, easily updated database,.
Cons None, this system seems solid.
Recommended it? Yes

I've owned two GPS systems. The first was part of the car in a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid-Navi, so I was spoiled with audio through the car's AM/FM/CD system. It would fade the sound system to play the next voice prompt and the fade up the tunes. Navigation was good.

My current system is a... Read full review »

I have had 2 Magellins and decided to try the Garmin. The first Magellin was a little large and didn't give the street name audibly so I traded it in on a nice small Magellin. I travel across the country a lot and the smaller one fit into my suitcase much easier. The first time I took the new... Read full review »

Bought 2720 18 months ago and have sent it back 3x for various reasons. Garmin Inc. was good to work with and didn't cost anything to replace the units and there were no shipping costs. It was even out of warranty last 2x I sent them back. However, when working they are great. Has saved me from... Read full review »
