If you're someone who likes to get every imaginable feature a device could offer, you just might fall in love with the Garmin StreetPilot 2820. If you are a motorcyclist who hates reading maps, the 2820 might be for you. If you're a back seat driver with a direction-clueless driver, the StreetPilot 2820 should be on your gift list.

The features of the Garmin StreetPilot 2820 are more than I can list in this short review, so I'll just hit a few key-points. One of the most important aspects of a GPS unit is the screen size. While some people prefer tiny, dinky, portable things, the StreetPilot 2820 offers something that really works-a big screen! This touch-screen-enabled GPS unit is capable of handling bright sunlight without a hitch. Because of the touch-screen function, it's also exceedingly easy to use as well.

For the person who hates pulling something out of the packaging and waiting 12 hours before its ready to use, the StreetPilot 2820 is your kind of toy. This unit is preloaded with absolutely thousands (ok, millions) of points of interests like great restaurants, gas stations, ATM's, hotels, stores, and basically anything else you might want to find. All you have to do is pull the 2820 out of the box, plug it in, and you're set to go. No waiting, no hassling.

You might enjoy taking a little time though to set up 3 really cool features that the 2820 has. That is it's MP3 player, audio book player, and XM radio. You'll need to subscribe to an XM radio provider to use it, but you'll love the huge variety of options XM radio offers. The MP3 player will play anything you load up and the audio book function is cool because you can listen get some reading done while you drive without putting yourself in danger!

It might seem like all the audio features would drown-out the audible navigation prompts so that you get lost. However, that's not necessary. There's a neat little mode you can set on the StreetPilot 2820 that will sound a tone when it's ready to tell you your next turn to make. You then hit the "speak" button and hear clearly your next set of directions. No need for annoying and unnecessary interruptions. Simply set it how you like it and enjoy!

Motorcyclists love the Garmin StreetPilot 2820 over others like Garmin Quest. It's a whole lot easier to use so if you're speeding down the highway, you can operate the GPS unit a whole lot safer. The safety that comes from easier handling makes the 2820 worth a whole lot more!

The Bluetooth feature of the StreetPilot 2820 sure makes things simple. The 2820 has a built-in microphone and speaker so that you can hook it and make hands-free calls with your cellphone. You can also connect both it and your phone to your headset or helmet so that you can hold conversations, listen to audio, and get your navigational guidance at the same time all without hassle.

The Garmin StreetPilot 2820 may be more expensive than some other models, but it's so feature packed that it'll last you a whole lot longer than other GPS units with lesser functionality. In fact, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it!
