I'm disgusted with the Bushnell ONIX 400 and the Bushnell Customer Service. It came with virtually no manual or instructions. from Amazon.com I've used this for Geo Caching, Hiking, Hunting,and Kayaking and so far it works great. The aerial maps from Bushnell are very detailed and provide a great perspective on the land around you. The downfall is that you must purchase the maps only from Bushnell. from Amazon.com The car mount would be needed so I don't have to look down at the screen. Initially I was disappointed to hear that there was not a rooftop car antennae adaptor so I figured it couldn't be used inside a car. Although it is marketed as a handheld hiking and hunting device, it would be helpful to have an external antennae so that driving to a favorite hunting or hiking spot would be easy. More importantly for me is driving on off-road trails. from Amazon.com For this, I don't really need advanced features such as street routing, a POI database filled with restaurants, gas stations, etc. For that, I use the navigation system on my car. Having said that, pretty much, any of the portable GPS devices meet my requirements but what attracted me to the Onix 400 was the addition of the XM Weather receiver. That extra feature, for me was worth the price as it does come in handy to be able to see when storms are coming, their severity and to be able to estimate roughly when it will be on top of you and how long it will be before it passes once is on top of you. from Amazon.com What I didn't realize is that besides entering the coordinates, you should also read the description and hints which would've made me three for three. There is a geocaching mode or set of settings which I didn't look too deep into. I believe that other GPS systems have a true geocaching mode with logging and cache maintenance. I'm not sure how important that would be for a casual cacher as myself. from Amazon.com Great GPS unit! The ability to show either base, arial, and topo maps is really nice. from Amazon.com I thought it was a great idea and I bought it to use on my boat in Lake Winnepausakee so it can guide me while cruising and I can listen to the satellite radio BUT I was faced with the following problems: 1-It took me 3 trials to activate the XM radio, after that it could never update the weather data. from Amazon.com I'm disgusted with the Bushnell ONIX 400 and the Bushnell Customer Service.

The downfall is that you must purchase the maps only from Bushnell. from Amazon.com All dependent on actual need / intended use. For me, it has been a great product that met my needs. I like to do a lot of camping and hiking in the middle of the woods and all I need from a portable GPS is just the basics. Let me mark locations, get me from the car to the camping site or marked locations and get me back. from Amazon.com
