Bushnell ONIX 400CR
Bushnell is upping the ante a bit here after their announcement of the car nav system, the NAV-500 and the handhelds, Onix 200 and Onix 200 CR; now launching this beauty, the Onix 400CR, a color handheld GPS with downloadable maps and aerial photos as well as XM weather feeds. This means that you can get storm warnings as well as doppler radar images superimposed on the screen with your maps. Very cool. I hoped and prayed for this kind of ability in a handheld as Garmin announced this overlay capability on the GPSMap 376C in July, 2005; technology re-application is great. What they can do in a marine unit, I want in my handheld.
