Overland Park, KS —The new ONIX 200 handheld GPS from Bushnell Outdoor Products has received a Golden Bullseye Award for Gear of the Year from the publications staff at the National Rifle Association.  The Golden Bullseye awards are presented to companies whose products represent excellence and innovation in the manufacture of firearms, accessories and related equipment.

The ONIX 200 was selected by the editors of American Hunter magazine. The award will be presented to Bushnell at the NRA Annual Meeting on April 13 in St. Louis, Missouri.

The ONIX 200 is rich with features that are exclusive to Bushnell. Only Bushnell offers the ability to download satellite and aerial photos. By visiting the company’s Web site (www.bushnellgps.com), users can download photos of their favorite outdoor recreation area or their own backyard. The extensive database of satellite images, aerial photographs and topographic maps shows users the “lay of the land” in different seasons for more accurate navigation.

With the purchase of each ONIX 200, owners are able to download four images from the Bushnell Web site. Additional downloads are available through both individual purchase options and an unlimited annual membership, which offers access to the most up-to-date satellite imagery available in the industry. Another unique feature of the ONIX 200 GPS receivers is the ability to overlay photos and maps on the screen. With screen layering, hikers and hunters can now overlay all of their selected information on one navigation screen, eliminating the need to switch back and forth between screens.

The ONIX 200 is ergonomically designed for one-handed operation and built to withstand the elements with rugged, rubberized grips and weatherproof construction. The GPS receiver offers WAAS capability for optimum accuracy and features a SiRF Star III chipset from SiRF Technology Holdings.  Internal memory will hold up to 500 Waypoints, 20 Trails and 20 Routes.
