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.

    Love what I’ve read so foar on the Bushnell GPS onix400, unfortunately, up here in Communist Governed, Canada, you can’t find a price quote on one, yet. Nor are they even available on the market.
