NOTE: Amazon seems to be aggressively dropping the price on this unit – it was $312.81 last night, and $308.17 several hours ago… you may want to watch it for the next day or so, if interested. EDIT: now at $285 - 4/13/08  4/14: Price keeps bumping around. I’m done.

Here’s amazon’s description:

I have a Nuvi 350, and it’s a terrific device. I’ll throw it in my bag when my travels include rental cars – it makes getting around unfamiliar cities relatively easy. Considering that 350’s were selling for around $300 just a few months ago, this is a pretty good deal.
