Garmin 2720 Global Positioning System or GPS

If you're looking for a way to navigate your way around as you drive, then you won't go far off track if you opt for the Garmin 2720.  This Global Positioning System � GPS for short - is offered to the market by Garmin, who are considered one of the market leaders in the supply of all things GPS.  No surprise then that this unit performs beautifully and has a very user friendly interface.

The 2720 then, comes with a plethora of features that makes it stand out in a field of other GPS units.  One of these great features, and one you would think is available as standard on all GPS systems, is the text to speech functionality.  What this means is that when you're driving along you will receive turn by turn verbal commands so that you never have to pull your eyes away from the road, or for that matter, pull over every time you need to read the display.  Plus the sunlight free glare display of the 2720, will also bring you the visuals of your maps in either two or three dimensions.

What the Garmin 2720 also has is the ability to notify you of upcoming Points of Interest � POI for short.  For instance, need to know if a school is approaching so you can take extra care as you drive by?  Need to know before hand where a hotel might be so that you can take a well needed break from your journey?  Well the 2720 can point out these special POI so that you can decide what you want to do in good time.

Adding more functionality to your unit is easily done and will obviously expand the capabilities of your 2720.  Take the FM receiver which you can add as a useful addition.  This will give you the ability to make use of radio and that means that you can find out when there might be planned obstacles up ahead such as road works or for that matter, unplanned obstacles such as traffic accidents or broken down vehicles blocking the road.  All great information that will give you time to make your detour and keep you on your way to your destination.

Another great feature of the Garmin 2720 is that you can very easily save your past journeys and then access them when you need them again without having to reprogram the unit all over again.

With the 2720 comes the extras that you need to mount the device onto your dashboard or windscreen and you also get a USB port cable that means you can upload information to access as you travel to your destination.

The Garmin 2720 is a compact and efficient GPS unit that is worth looking up!
