Bushnell GPS Units and Imagery
I can’t keep up with all the GPS product announcements — too many of them! — so as a general rule I don’t bother trying. But GPS Review’s Tim Flight e-mailed me to point out something interesting about the new GPS receivers from Bushnell: “Some of them have the ability to load satellite imagery, and aerial photography onto the device,” he writes. “Other manufacturers have talked about doing it … but looks like Bushnell beat everyone to the punch!” Note, though, that the imagery is apparently only downloadable from Bushnell’s web site. See also GPS Review on the Bushnell Nav 500, Onix 200 and Onix 200 CR.

Apparently imagery will cost a $1 a picture. No, thanks - I’d sooner buy a Windows Mobile PDA (like the Navman 570 or HP IPaq), and put some free software on it that displays free images, or use the demo version of ArcPad - fully functional, but times out every 20 minutes.
