Bushnell ONIX400

MAPS THAT KNOW THE WEATHER

A drizzle annoys hikers; a storm can kill them. The Onix400 is the first handheld GPS unit to show real-time weather fronts rolling in. It pulls data from XM Satellite Radio’s meteorology service and transforms it into illustrations—such as rain patterns—layered over maps. And its aerial photos can help you spot a place to sit out a storm. $500, plus $10 per month; bushnellgps.com
