Thanks for your replies:
FYI: I talked to Garmin tech support. The procedure posted by sierra was
repeated by the tech. Garmin is sending me the full manual. If you are
interested, it can be viewed and do/low from Gamin. Go to Gamin site and go
to discontinued units. Click on the 2720 and you'll find the full manual.
Mine did not include a full manual. It only had a very brief basic manual.
Hope this is helpful.

As the above poster said...ignore the GPS. Drive the route you want to
drive and use the GPS for position location. When you get closer to your
destination input the address you are seeking and follow the directions at
that point. I did just that the other night. I knew how to get close to
where I wanted to go but did not know the directions to the exact address.
When I got to the vicinity of the address I was seeking I used the GPS for
final directions.

        I don't own 2720 but I believe you can download the PDF manual of most
products these days, including Garmin GPS. Since I have been using Garmin
GPS for nearly a decade or so, so I only read the manual of the 1st and 2nd
GPS, but not the 3rd and 4th GPS to even know if they came with manual or
not <bg>
