From: Engadget



Those thinking GPS to stuff the stockings this winter now have option when it comes to picking out the perfect handheld / car navigation system. Bushnell is taking time from crafting those night vision goggles and luxurious binoculars to throw down three forthcoming GPS units. The ONIX 200 ($199.99; pictured after the break) handheld sports a SiRF Star III receiver, 240 x 160 resolution grayscale display, 128MB of SDRAM, 32MB of built-in memory, integrated US / Canadian maps, rugged / waterproof design, and even boasts the nifty ability to "download, display, and georeference satellite photography." The similar ONIX 200 CR sports the same specs and functionality, including a 26-hour battery life on two AA cells, but replaces the monochrome LCD with a 320 x 240 resolution colored version. On the car-based side, the NAV 500 ($599.99) features a 3.5-inch color touchscreen, pre-installed maps of the US and Canada, a SiRF Star III receiver, MP3 player, SD slot, photo viewer, and a "pedestrian mode to calculate walking routes." While the ONIX 200 and NAV 500 units will both be available this February.
