Bushnell 363500 Onix 350 GPS with sensors Review



Bushnell 363500 Onix 350 GPS with sensors Feature

  • Compact GPS navigator with TruView navigation layering technology
  • Layers satellite photo, topographical map, and compass on same screen
  • Lets you plot course by comparing surroundings with onscreen pictures
  • 3.5-inch full-color LCD display; barometric pressure and temperature sensors
  • Embedded 512 MB microSD card; measures 3.1 x 7 x 0.55 inches (W x H x D)
Combining satellite photography and navigational aids on a single screen, the Bushnell Onix 350 GPS navigator lets you plot your course by comparing your surroundings with the pictures in your palm. As a result, you can easily find your way back to the car whether you're hunting or hiking in the woods. The Onix 350 works by layering a satellite photo, topographical map, compass, and other navigational aids on the extra-large, 3.5-inch full-color LCD display. Because you see all the images and aids on the same screen, you eliminate all of the guesswork of GPS navigation. This means you don't have to worry about taking a wrong turn or making an "educated" guess that the tree patch on the left is supposed to be there. The Onix 350 also includes barometric pressure and temperature sensors, helping you predict changing weather conditions. In general, lower pressure brings inclement weather, while high pressure brings stability and clear skies. And fishermen will love the unit's Solunar Edge technology, which provides sun and moon tables to determine optimal animal and fish activity times.

Other details include a SafeTrack battery conservation mode that helps the Onix 350 run for up to 30 hours; a user-friendly interface that provides easy access to all of the features and controls; a self-calibrating three-axis digital compass; an embedded 512 MB microSD card; and a rugged, waterproof rubber armor.
