It looks like Bushnell is determined to make a strong entrance to the GPS market. Just few days ago we reported their launch of ONIX 200 and ONIX 200CR. Today we got news that they’re also releasing a new model called ONIX 400CR that is also capable of overlaying satellite imagery and receive XM, XMWX Weather Data.
For $500 the Bushnell ONIX 400CR could rival the Garmin’s GPSMAP series.

We purchased an Onix 400 and called XM to activate service. I was told that Bushnell released the product too early. I then called Bushnell direct.
They did not release the product to early, XM just doesn’t have a way to bill the consumer for the weather service yet.
Call Bushnell if this happens to you, they will give you exact directions on how to get set up, it is possible, and the best thing of all, you will not be charged for the XM service until they get their billing system updated. XM will have to pick up the tab for your service.
