PRODUCT DETAILS
 [Back to Top]
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 [1] 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[1]. 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[2], 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.

I am proud to be one of the first purchasers of the phenomonal device! The Display is good, the audiable navigation is better than anticipated, the on screen displays are refreshing, even when not routing, the optional setups are endless...WOW I signed up for the XM Radio and Traffic - the XM Radio is great, my wife likes it and will be using it on her trip to Missouri this weekend. I have not yet had experience with the xm traffic, but it looks promising. The limited weather that comes with t e XM plan is very good as well, we can see the weather and forcast in the cities we may be traveling to as well as our local forcast. GREAT JOB GARMIIN! I',m a believer!

This is a fantastic unit. I waited on pre-order 3 months and was not disappointed. All the features worked superbly. I travel extensively and this gets the job done driving unknown cities. I'm having it mounted on my Harley Ultra this month the road trips and XM entertainment. No flaws except the screen is difficult to see on the dash of my RAM 1500 PU depending on the light. The remote is very convenient and enables moving between map/route turns/XM Radion screens. This is solid product.

The best tool I ever purchased and very easy to use. This is by far the best GPS unit I ever owned.

Great GPS. I like it a lot and it does a great job with getting me where i need to go. I like the custom avoids that you can add. To avoid certain roads and what not. Only complaint I have is the power and XM antenna connectors. You have to disconnect the XM antenna every time you want to disconnect the power. Which adds extra wear to that connector when I move it from my Jeep to my motorcycle. I really wish there was a way to provide a quick release mounting kit solution. Now i wonder if its possible to make a home made quick release for the cabling?

This unit is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Just received mine about a week ago and tested is on a round-trip to Roswell NM from Tucson Az. The screen is bright and easy to use. Set-up was a snap. It will automatically re-route you if you stray off course. Voice directions were crisp and clear. Love the XM that came with it. Was already a subscriber so activating the unit with the GXM 30 antenna was a no-brainer. I think all cars need to have GPS. No more paper maps for me!!
