Garmin StreetPilot 2720 review

Downside: Price may be the biggest issue with the Garmin StreetPilot 2720. At about $1,200, it's one of the costliest in-car GPS devices on the market, and if you want the traffic option, you'll have to fork over another $200 for the FM receiver. Plus, the receiver comes with a 15-month trial subscription to Clear Channel TMC; if you want to continue the traffic services after that, you'll need to buy a one-year subscription for $60. One final warning: The traffic service is available in only select cities, so you'll want to check Garmin's Web site before you take the plunge.

Outlook: There's a lot to like about the Garmin StreetPilot 2720, but given the price, it may appeal only to those who spend a lot of time on the road and want a sophisticated, high-end navigation device. Still, in this ever-growing field of GPS, it'll face stiff competition from the likes of the TomTom GO 700 and the Magellan RoadMate 760. Check back soon for a full review.
