Summary
The Garmin StreetPilot 2820 is a great GPS system if you’re not interested in all the bells and whistles that come with the nüvi series. It’s waterproof, which the nüvis are not. It has a screen which is about half-way between the sizes of the regular sized nüvi screen and the widescreen versions. Not having an external speaker is a drawback, but I’m guessing that might go along with being waterproof.
