Great product, well worth the $$
Review From: Nick B., Jun 29, 2006
After researching numerous GPS systems, I narrowed it down to the Garmin 2720 and the new Garmin c550. I went with the 2720 for its looks, ease of use, and its display. I purchased it while on a business trip in Wilmington, DE and used it on my way down to Baltimore, MD. I chose the back roads route (shortest route) and purposely went off the suggested route to test the system. Each time it re-calculated the route quickly and effortlessly, and not once did it give me false directions. It's loaded with features and it's a nice unit overall. So far I'm very pleased with it.

Great for car
Review From: Harald Herchen, Apr 15, 2008
I've used this almost daily for several years in North America, and it is very good. I would buy it again. There are two places where improvement could be made: the connector for the cable to the unit breaks too easily; secondly, the map updates are expensive, and have errors that the previous versions didn't.

The 2720 is not worth the money
Review From: Terry, Feb 26, 2007
I've had Garmins before. This is absolutely the worst one ever. Yes it is pretty with lots of color and fancy looking screen displays. But it can't locate a highway ramp accurtately to save it's soul. It misses just about every intersection by about 25 to 35 yards and at night or in a storm, this is very hazzardous. By the time it informs you that a ramp is present, you've already passed it up by a long shot. I'm dumping this garbage and keeping my old Garmin while I look for something else.

On target every time, huge screen, extremely user friendly. This is my 2nd Garmin, I wouldn't even consider a different brand. Simply outstanding.

Nice unit but died in two days.
Review From: Greg Thoreson, Aug 2, 2006
I bought the 2720. It arrived on Friday. I went touring Saturday -- worked nice. We used it Sunday to find an out of the way address about 120 miles away. It took us right there and then back. Monday it would not turn on. I hooked up the 120v power cord -- still nuthin! Costco took it back without a question. I love Costco. It was not abused at all -- just not very reliable I guess.

Poor software design makes it less useful than the 2620
Review From: Jim VanderWall, Jul 11, 2006
I received my 2720 unit as a replacement for a failed Garmin 2620, having been informed that it was an improvement on the 2620. I was very happy with the performance and interface on the 2620, but the interface was changed on the 2720, in my opinion, for the worse. The 2620 allowed specification of the level of detail at various zoom levels for street names. The 2720 only shows names of the street you're on and intersecting streets. The other streets are shown, with NO NAMES. This cannot be overridden. Garmin claims this downgrade "reduces clutter." Since it does one no good to know the streets are there if you don't know what streets they are, they could have removed the streets from the map as well and had a really clean interface... just a couple of crossing lines! I have confirmed with Garmin's support that this cannot be overridden (as it could in the 2620). In addition, the 2620 showed quite accurately the house number corresponding to your position on the street. It now just shows that your on the street, not where. All in all, it went from being a great GPS to a mediocre one at best. I returned it and got a Magellan.

Great, works well in all conditions
Review From: Don Johnson, Jun 12, 2006
The 2720 system is great. Can always find an address if it's in on the map. This is like having another guy give you directions..... usually right but not always the way you would do it...

They keep improving!
Review From: Bill, May 10, 2006
My first Garmin was a handheld. They're not all perfect but support has been excellent and this without a doubt is the best yet! Few mistakes in directions and if my destination is on the right when it says on the left..if you're too dumb to figure that out where'd you get your license? And why are you driving???

Looking to trade in 2620 for upgrade
Review From: Nathaniel A. Wilson, Dec 15, 2005
I thoroughly enjoy the Streetpilot 2620. On very rare occasions that the directions given are misleading. This is a great piece of apparatus. Wouldn't be without it, especially at night.

0 out of 10 gps
Review From: Pao , Oct 12, 2005
This GPS doesn't deserve not even a 1 out of 10. It's really bad, it tells you to keep left and turn next ahead. It tells you arriving location on left but the building itself is on right. The programmers of Garmin are really horrible at it. They need to fire those guys and hire someone who is a professional. The Navteq map is garbage, I can imagine why they exaggerated the quality of this map when the only good thing about this map is wrong directions. POI import was so hard to do and extremely not accurate. The remote control was horrible, it was so hard to use. Make it so there is no joystick, it's hard on the thumb. Garmin need to test and think abit more before they release their GPS, because it simply is too expensive to spend $1000 on something that has tones of bugs. All those good rating are Garmin employees and retailers trying to sell their products.
