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.
