Cleared for Visual Runway 24 in UNV we descended to 3;400 feet. We were straight and level at 3;400 feet crossing the highest obstacle (approximately 2;400 feet MSL) to the southeast of the field. We got the 'terrain; terrain; too low pull up' GPWS warning.[We] climbed to 3;800 feet [and] leveled off; once passed terrain continued approach and landed uneventfully.
Air Carrier Captain reported during approach to UNV airport they received a GPWS alert while in VFR well above terrain resulted in taking corrective action.
