The StreetPilot 2730
offers real-time XM NavTraffic, XM WX Weather, and
XM Radio capabilities. 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 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*. 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 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 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, 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™ 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.
