Garmin StreetPilot 2720 Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)
This review is from: Garmin StreetPilot 2720 Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)
The problem with being an early-adopter with technology is that you have to suffer through some growing pains. Now that the 2720 is out of that stage, it is a very nice and powerful unit.
I've owned 5 different hand-held GPS units, and 3 automobile ones. So I've had exposure to different brands and interfaces.
I really like the interface on the 2720, it is very easy to understand. Which is a good thing since the manual is seriously lacking in information.
If you decide to get this unit, I would suggest 3 things:
1 - Turn on WAAS. It will improve the accuracy when a WAAS station is available.
2 - Go to the Garmin site and download the latest patches (currently version 2.90). This will eliminate the satellite lock issues, and correct some other small bugs.
3 - E-mail Garmin and ask them to send you the Navigator DVD. It doesn't come in the box, but you get if free if you ask them. It allows you to plan routes and upload waypoints using your computer.
I am very happy with this unit.
