Bushnell ONIX 400 GPS

[Off-Grid Engineering]

Anybody know anything about this unit? They normally sell for approx. $400 but www.woot.com has them for $99 today. I went ahead and picked one up. I hope it's a good beginners handheld. I dont know much about GPS's but am hoping to learn. What do ya think?

Trying to see if it has Canada?
Also comments about having to buy road maps?

couldnt see if it has canada. dont really need that or road maps. I'll be using it mostly for US forests in and around Colorado and Utah.

Good luck....

Seems like a great unit... but has some issues. You almost had me take out the credit card... seems the the biggest problem is really small maps, and having to download lots of maps to get a complete map, even for just a small area... for $104 shipped it's worth a shot, and they are selling on ebay for over $250 for working units (the cheaper ones were broke) just wait a few weeks, lots of Wooters say they are buying 3 just to dump on ebay

Thanks for posting the info, some readers here will get a unit they will like!
