2730 GPS XM TRAFFIC WEATHER AND RADIO
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.
