If you regularly drive in areas where a GPS signal is intermittent, such as urban environments with tall buildings or in mountainous terrain, Garmin's StreetPilot 2660 has all the features you'll need, including preloaded map coverage and dead reckoning. This means that once you have the unit installed by an authorized Garmin installer, you'll continue to get navigation guidance even if you lose GPS reception.
The StreetPilot 2660 is a plug-and-play, portable automotive GPS navigator featuring detailed, preloaded MapSource City Navigator maps. You'll never have to unlock or upload map data to your unit. Its preprogrammed hard drive stores City Navigator maps of North America so you can navigate to a specific address or access an industry-leading database of more than 5 million points of interest, including lodging, restaurants, gas stations, and local attractions. The intuitive, menu-driven liquid-crystal touchscreen ensures that navigating the unit is as easy as navigating the road.
Besides a full-color, high-resolution touchscreen, the GPS unit offers voice-prompted turn-by-turn navigation and a powerful microprocessor for fast route calculation and map redraws. The system includes a unique wireless infrared remote control, which grants easy operation of the unit from a distance. The StreetPilot 2660 also offers WAAS-enabled support to ensure the highest degree of GPS accuracy.
Unlike the earlier 2620, the StreetPilot 2660 has dead-reckoning capabilities, so you'll continue to get navigation guidance even when GPS signals are obscured. To use this feature, a special dead-reckoning cable must be connected to your vehicle's speedometer and backup lights by an authorized Garmin installer. Once installed, your StreetPilot will acknowledge your turns as well as your distance traveled when GPS reception is unavailable. Driving with dead reckoning is so seamless you won't even know if you happen to have lost GPS reception. To use the 2660 in another vehicle, simply unplug the dead-reckoning cable from the vehicle adapter.
Do you want to find the most efficient route for deliveries or sales calls? You can enter a series of destinations, and the StreetPilot 2660 will automatically sort them to provide an efficient route. Road Segment and Area Avoidance helps you avoid traffic tie-ups or roadwork. When you're running on empty, you'll be able to limit searches for gas stations, restaurants, etc., to upcoming points near a route. How about taking the road less traveled? Now you can adjust your preferences for major, medium, and minor roads.
A built-in, routable basemap (North and South America) contains state and country boundaries, lakes, rivers, streams, airports, cities, towns, coastlines, state and interstate highways, local thoroughfares, and secondary roads within metro areas, as well as federal interstate highway exit information for services such as food, lodging, and truck, RV, and automotive service stations.
Other features include non-volatile memory, an integrated dash mounting system provides easy adjustment and quick release, and a built-in patch antenna and an MCX-type connector for optional external GPS antenna connection.
