No Map Downloads Necessary!
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.
Up-to-Date Traffic Information!
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.
Instant Weather Info Including Forecasts and Current Conditions.
The Garmin StreetPilot 2730's screen can display information from XM weather data, including forecasts for 162 cities as well as current conditions for more than 2,000 locations. United States county storm and flood warnings are also highlighted, allowing motorists to make prudent driving decisions.
More than 150 XM Satellite Channels.
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.
Includes MP3 Player for Musical Entertainment Wherever You Go
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.
Amazing Innovations in Navigation
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.
Please note that subscription to XM Radio and subscription to XM NavTraffic is required for those features to work.
