I have been using the Garmen 2720 for approximately 1 Month. I work as an outside representative for an insurance company going to people’s homes and businesses. Therefore when I’m in a strange town a good navigator can not only get me to where I’m going but also remove a great deal of stress As you never have to worry about where you’re your next turn is. Nor do you have to hold a Map in your hands any. Longer<br><br><br><br>I found using Garmen 2720 very easy to use go to be honest I think it’s a bit pricey current considering its competitors. Yes the touch pad is nice versus the least expensive models scroll wheel. But in the end the least expensive Garmen I4, we’ll get you there just as well for half the price. Another quirk in the 2720 is having the speaker for the unit built into the power charger unit of the car. In some cars and situations it’s difficult to place properly and is more subject to being broken. They just should have built the speaker into the unit. Also been bulky microphone wire going to your cigarette lighter is sloppy to say the least.<br>Yes the text to speech voice function is a big quirky at times regarding its pronunciations but is generally fairly accurate. Sometimes it does tell you the wrong exit numbers but I think this is more a function of the satellites rather than the unit itself. <br><br><br>Let me just say I enjoy this product and it works very well and then I’m very happy that my company paid for it. For otherwise I would have bought the less expensive Garman I4 and been just as happy. The maps and everything are nice but in the end all I wanted was a voice to tell me how to get where I was going and Garman’s do this just as well.

Some guy's post above this one, indicated that a user he was replying to was somehow connected to Garmin or was a retail store establishment, becasue they were glowing about the 2720.<br><br>Well hold up there Brother, I also like the 2720 and I don't work or have any official ties with the 2720 organization!
