Garmin Streetpilot

Garmin is a leading manufacturer of GPS navigation systems. Since 1989, the Garmin Company has been making navigation products for aviation and consumer industries. On the consumer end, Garmin GPS systems are known for their extensive maps, turn-by-turn voice-guided systems and upgradeable technology. The Garmin Streetpilot is a popular consumer automotive GPS system. This GPS device is smaller than a baseball and portable for handheld and vehicle use. The i2 is the base model in the Streetpilot iSeries, and other models include the i3, i5 and more. These GPS devices are all well-equipped with powerful features like voice-prompted directions through a built-in speaker, upgradeable North American interactive maps, 128MB data cards, and color displays with backlight. In addition, travelers can view maps from a three-dimensional view perspective or an overhead 'bird's eye' view of the streets or highways. All of the models in the iSeries utilize two AA batteries for around six hours of use. Also included is a 12-volt adapter cable that can power your Streetpilot directly from your car's battery. The Garmin Streetpilot 2620 is a high-end model, ready to use straight out of the box, loaded up with either North American or European maps. In addition to locating addresses and intersections, this GPS device can pinpoint nearby gas stations, hotels, and restaurants. Travelers can also adjust their routes to find major or minor roads to find scenic hideaways. The 2620 is a touch screen device that also includes an alphanumeric remote control for use from a distance.
