snomchfun Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Just curious if anyone has one of these units and what they think of it? Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 If you do a search, I think you'll find some comments have been made. My impression is that they were generally not favorable. Quote Link to comment
+Klemmer Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 When it first came out, I wrote about it's mapping capability, and in particular the XM radio hook-up, with NEXRAD Radar images downloadable real-time. Pretty cool. Looked at one at REI, but didn't buy. Now that Sirius bought XM (or they merged, whatever), I wonder where that is going now. Quote Link to comment
+tacobox Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I bought one for a multi purpose solution. I do ATV trips that can stretch a couple of hundred of miles. I wanted the weather feature. Then I got into Geocaching with some friends. We are in a 3 month race to see who can find the most. The software that comes with the onix is very bad in general. I have done software development for over 20 years and this is very poor. There is no way to load mass points. It is a drag using the software. I have figured out the file format for Geocaches. Several software titles are available to convert LOC to GPX and others but not Bushnell. I ended up buying a Garmin Ledgend CX for myself, daughter and sister. Overall, the hardware is great and very easy and quick to use. It's the front end that needs work. For Geocaching I would go for one of the units that suports GPX fies. Quote Link to comment
