It wasn’t but two months ago that I was saying to someone, “When they get weather on GPS, I just may buy one.” Sure enough, next thing I know, I am looking at this Bushnell Onix 400 GPS system that includes, you guessed it, weather displays. But, this little dandy also incorporates XM satellite radio. Ladies and gentlemen, now I have everything I need to walk for miles and miles without a care in the world.
Of course, all this is housed in a rubberized container that shields the device from the elements. Heck, this would also do well for minor storm chasing. Though, watch out for cloud interference – you wouldn’t want to be tracking a twister and then lose the signal. Here is the feature list:
- Layer a satellite photo, topo map, compass, navigational aids and XM services on a single screen with TruView Navigation
- Extra-large 3.5” full color LCD
- Downloads and displays georeferenced satellite photography
- Displays XM weather data on the GPS map*
- XM Satellite radio entertainment including XM sports*
- SafeTrack battery conservation mode
- SiRF® GPS receiver
- Digital compass
- Embedded 128 micro SD card
- Rugged rubber armor
- Waterproof (IPX7 rated)
*With XM Satellite subscription
XM radio and weather subscription will run you around $17/month and the unit is priced at around $400-$500.
