Woot! are now offering the “Bushnell ONIX 400 GPS with XM NEXRAD Weather” for the astonishing $100 – that’s right, for just $100 you can get yourself a GPS with a NEXRAD weather overlay. This is the same kind of technology that’s used by most stormchasers in their vehicles, only on a much smaller scale – and of course, instead of taking the data from your own radar, it’s just pulled alongside the GPS data.
The device also has a 3.5″ display working on a 320×200 resolution, satellite imaging, an SD card slot – and it comes with a 128 MB card. The battery holds on for about 30 hours, and the device is waterproof as well.
It’s the perfect gadget for the amateur stormchaser – if you want to feel part of the thrill of the real stormchasing without investing thousands of dollars in equipment, this should definitely be a part of your arsenal. The GPS data will keep you on track all the time, and with the weather information displayed over it, you’ll always know where to head.
