This is by far one of the coolest GPS navigational devices I've seen yet. The Garmin StreetPilot 2720 ($1,099) defies the meaning of extra features. The new StreetPilot is WAAS-enabled with a 12-channel receiver and an internal antenna. Its 3.8-inch touch screen with a built-in light sensor is both impressive and an improvement from its earlier versions, such as the StreetPilot 2620. And whether you're looking for the shortest, fastest, or off-road routes to get to your destination, the 2720 has eight different types of vehicle routing profiles (auto, truck, emergency, etc.), and nine avoidance (highway, toll road, carpool lane, etc.) preferences that you can set. You'll also find preloaded complete maps for the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, viewable in 2- and 3-dimensional. Read on to learn about its text-to-speech conversion, live traffic data, infrared remote control, and more.
