It's now $349 there, I paid $325 for it through them in May, they had a garmin sale going, also got an interface cord included for hooking to the PC to use Mapquest.

GPS DISCOUNT
laster's link is to GPS Discount. I just used them for my purchase. They answered all my questions. I needed the unit in a hurry. Placed the order at 4:30 PM, got it the next morning . I forgot to get software and called them back. They found the best software/memory card deal and sent it next day as well. They have earned my future business. If you call, talk to Scott Farris.
