That's cool, I just bought my Dad the C330 for fathers day, and he loves it. My favorite feature is that you can not only change languages, but you can change to a British accent! But how the hell can you hear it over the engine?
I have one of the traditional Garmin color units that's about the size of a cell phone, but it doesnt have sound, and I still dont have the turn-by-turn sofware (City Select or City Navigator) for it. Use it mostly for fishing, so it has the Americas Blue Charts software loaded.

I have the C330 mounted on my bars. RAM Mounts makes a mount for it. I ordered it from GPScity.com

I have a Garmin Rhino 120 and 110. I have a handlebar mount off of a 4 wheeler that I use for the bike. Works really slick. Got it from here.

I have a Garmin GPSmap 76S that I have been known to cable tie awkwardly to my bike. One day I'm going to spring for the RAM mounting system. Since these days my only riding is my commute, there's no real rush for that, though.
