    yes, this is the one. i have this and it works well other than i hate how long it takes for it to get a GPS lock sometimes. i've had times where it takes 10 minutes before it gets a lock, though most of the time it's about a minute or so.
    Which site has good information about unlocking this?

    Hackable... totally in to replace my Mio c310x that was just stolen from my car (busted window ). On a side note, don't be dumb like me and leave your mount ANYWHERE visible in your car. Even the power cord. Thieves will do $400 of damage to your car for a $50 GPS any day of the week

    If it is 16878 then Target does not even list specs right. It is not 320x240.
    If you plan to hack it keep in mind that it does not take SDHC cards, only regular SD.
    I bet there will be another deal in $taples before long at $45 plus tax AR delivered. Unless you need one now, I'd wait.

    I wouldn't care all that much if they stole the GPS, the point is to not get your car damaged during the theft. Although them not being able to use or sell it later is good, that wouldn't do any good to me.

    Quick Note: After updating the GPS with the new firmware, it acquires signal quickly even indoors.
