Garmin StreetPilot 2620 review

 

Garmin StreetPilot 2620

Strong receiver; accurate tracking; street-level maps and remote control included.

Expensive; bean-bag mount should be heavier.

The Garmin StreetPilot 2620 is a top-notch performer, user-friendly, and ready to use right out of the box.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

I like mine

 

Highly recommend, no fooling around with software downloads for the drive who wants a simpler product. Note this does not do the birds eye view type of graphic. That seems to be the trend now.

I didn't get mine from NE but I really like mine. Never given me a problem. Voice prompts for turns ahead. Gives lots of relevant information as you would expect from Garmin, ETE, Mileage to Dest. Great satellite reception. Garmin always make a good...

Would like zoom in/out hard buttons rather than having to touch screen then select zoom through a couple of menus. I purchased mine @ pawn shop for $xxx and was missing the bean bag holder as well as few other accessories, so this is pretty good deal...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Not the greatest!!

 

After a month of owning this unit, my hard drive crashed. Sent the unit in to get fixed. No problems for about 5 months and then the unit would act up. It would display "Unable to load maps" constantly. If the unit came with the CD then I probably...

Well, the fact that it is portable is a plus

Hard Drive based ; Plug is in a horrible spot ; The on/off switch is also located poorly

Consumer review (newegg.com)

I made the right choice!

 

This is my 6th GPS owned in lifetime, started with monochrome Garmin, even own cf Que 1620 (CF) for my PDA. Also have owned a bluetooth version and wired one (forgot name now).

Thought the remote was a gimmick, but turns out very (!) useful and slick input device. This purchase was for my wife who absolutely loves this GPS. Dang, it absolutely beats my car manuf's in-dash unit (on the MBZ E350! which really sucks compared to...

The power connector (wire) and the back of the unit tends to separate ever slightly at touch/movement, so the unit has to be turned on. But not a big deal that a sliver of scotch tape won't fix

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Works for me!

 

Love it, love it, love it. I did have to use an external antenna ($xx off the net). Also, it does confuse the side of the street where an address is occasionally, but overall simply elegant and excellent. And total North American coverage without DVD's...

Great Product

 

I do a lot of out of state travel. Imagine driving through a new city at night, trying to find your way using a road map or a printout from Mapquest. A friend recommended Street Pilot 2620 - bingo! What a difference. In fact, I now look forward to...

Agree 98% wonderful

 

As a commercial real estate appraiser I *LIVE* on mine, often seeing 30 properties in a day between Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. It is a huge improvement over prior models I've owned - especially the free software updates and overall...

Accurate addresses & routing, excellent touchscreen interface, good software updates

Weak power cable shoe, tight traffic cable, can't reprogram road-speed assumptions

Consumer review (shopping.com)

Get a Garmin StreetPilot 2620 and never ask for directions again.

 

When I bought my new car, I passed on the GPS system from the factory. As the next year wore on, I was regretting it. One option was to purchase the factory system at about $1500 or get an aftermarket unit. With the aftermarket choice, you have to...

Portable, easy to use

Hard drive storage could be troublesome if you drop it

98% wonderful

 

I recently purchased the 2620 for a significant drive: a cross-country jaunt without any specific route plans besides "west, then east." As a result, I had a chance to do a real trial-by-fire. I had picked this model specifically because there aren't a...

Almost uncanny in its ability to get you around

Some routing quirks. No Mac support for updates
