Bushnell has a gps that allows you to download sattelite images.  It's like having a handheld Google maps.  Looks like a fun new toy...

Knowing Garmin, I bet they have something like this out sooooooon, if not already...

But whats the suggested mfg. retail price of this unit?
This webpage says $200 for B/W and $230 for color, but I don't believe it...  http://www.ohgizmo.com/2007/02/20/bushnell-onix200-handheld-gps-now-with-real-images/

I am ashamed.  This little goodie slipped past my radar.  I have been checking all my usual sources and have not found a credible review on the onix200.  With limited onboard memory and a download fee for each map it looks like it could be expensive in the long run, but the concept is really impressive.

I'm sure Garmin will come out with one and charge you $100 for satellite images of each state.
