StreetPilot 2820 is not new however a nice short review came out today on PocketGPSWorld with lots of pics. To sum up:

The Garmin StreetPilot 2820 is a very capable unit, with a clear screen and more configurable options than I care to mention. The default routing appears to pick the same routes that I’d choose myself if I didn’t know a particular area. Maps are available for other countries, both from Garmin and Third Party mapmakers.

The one confusing aspect with the remote control is that it has the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons reversed to what is on the actual unit’s screen. The only negative points I can really think of are the size and weight of the unit, and the lack of internal battery. In my opinion, this last item is a real oversight on Garmin’s part.

The StreetPilot 2820 with Bluetooth sells for $710 on Amazon. It is ideal for motorcyclists since it will let you connect your Bluetooth-enabled headset or helmet to the StreetPilot 2820 to talk hands-free or receive voice guidance to your destination.
