The editors at Popular Science magazine have placed the Bushnell ONIX 400 GPS on their list of best new recreation products of 2007, after evaluating several hundred products.
The ONIX 400 is the first handheld GPS to offer XM NavWeather, which integrates real-time weather information with GPS maps and navigation data.
With the ONIX 400, a hiker or camper can monitor weather developments, including animated Doppler radar to see severe storm tracks in real-time, through a subscription XM Satellite Radio Weather package.
It’s also lightweight, rugged and waterproof; runs on a rechargeable Li-Ion battery; and features a 128 MB micro SD card for plenty of memory for weather data, maps, photos and saved locations and trails.
More information about the ONIX 400 is available at http://www.bushnell.com/gps/gps_onix400.cfm?section=GPS##

shadowz--I'm so glad you approve of the Garmin purchase! Reading on-line reviews is great and all, but somebody always has something negative to say, so it's great to get the opinion of a real person. Haven't been geo-caching yet. I'm going to sound like a total wimp here, but it's been sooo cold! If anyone's been geo-caching in the winter with a snow-covered ground, I'd like to hear of your experiences. In the meantime, I'm going to just figure out how to use it!! And yeah, $150 bucks...one of those 'had to buy it because it was such a good deal' deals.
A Garmin eTrex Venture HC. We were just going to buy the entry level Garmin, but that one was 100 bucks and the Venture was on sale with a rebate, and we had $10 of Dick's Bucks to use it. All in all, it came to 150. So, not bad!
(Sorry for the delayed response. I'm not getting notices to comments. Bruno's on it!)
