How Does “GPS” Work?
GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”. Launched by the United States Department
of Defense, GPS consists of a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the earth at nearly
11,000 miles. These satellites are traveling at a speed that allows them to circle the earth
twice each day while emitting a very low power signal. The signals are timed by clocks
that are highly accurate and are received by one of 5 ground stations. These ground stations
use the precisely timed signal to determine each satellite’s exact position in orbit. Your
GPS receiver can “hear” the signal sent by the satellite. By calculating the position and
distance of at least 4 satellites, accurate latitude, longitude and altitude location information
can be determined. WAAS adds to your GPS’s accuracy. WAAS stands for Wide Area
Augmentation System. WAAS was designed by the United States Federal Aviation
Administration, primarily to add in the accuracy of GPS for planes. WAAS consists of the
group of additional ground stations placed at known and precisely located spots. These
ground stations then work with a master station to correct the satellite signals improving
accuracy to within nearly 3 meters. WAAS reception may be turned on in the SET page
menu-however, the default setting is “Off” due to the additional battery drain it causes.

Included In The Package
• ONIX GPS Receiver
• USB Cable
• Quick Start Guide
• CD-ROM with:
–An Interactive Tour of the ONIX
–Software for managing & saving your topo map and
satellite photo downloads, and planning your next outdoor

Battery Installation, Cleaning and Maintenance Notes
Unscrew the battery compartment fastening screw (see next page), and install 2 AA
alkaline, lithium or NiMh rechargeable batteries. Lithium batteries are recommended for
cold weather conditions and longer battery life before replacement. Refer to the polarity
markings inside the battery compartment to ensure the batteries are positioned correctly.
When removing or replacing batteries, be sure the ONIX has been powered off first. To
reduce the chance for damage from battery leakage, remove the batteries when storing the
unit for periods over six months.
The ONIX is designed to be waterproof to a depth of 1 meter (IPX7 rating), however it
is recommended that the user opens and checks the battery compartment following any
submersion or prolonged exposure to rain, snow, etc. Any moisture observed inside the
battery compartment or on the exterior of the batteries should be dried off immediately and
completely. Prolonged submersion (over 30 minutes) and/or to water depths greater than 1
meter can cause damage to the unit.
If the ONIX exterior becomes dirty, clean it with a soft cloth dampened with a mild
detergent solution, then wipe dry. To avoid possible scratches, a (dry) micro fiber cloth is
ideal for cleaning the display screen. Do not use chemical solvents or cleaners of any type
on the ONIX unit’s exterior, battery compartment, or display, as these may damage plastic
components.

The Four Main Pages (Overview)
There are 4 different “pages” you can select from to view on the display screen. To cycle
through these pages in their order as shown below, press the Page View button on the top
right of the ONIX. The pages and their function are:
1. The SAT (Satellite) Page
The purpose of this page is to enable the user
to view information related to the reception
of GPS satellite signals by the ONIX. You
can see how many satellites are providing
location data to the ONIX, the unique ID
# of each satellite, how strong the signal is
from each one (bar graph at bottom), and
the accuracy of the location data the ONIX
is providing, based on the quality/quantity
of satellite signals currently available.
This page is useful for trouble shooting, if
the GPS does not seem to be working as it
1. SAT Page
should.
2. The MAP Page
You will spend the majority of your time on
thispageonceyouaresetupandactuallyusing
your GPS to navigate. Your current position
is shown on a “base map” (like a simple road
map) using one of 3 kinds of cursors, along
with any or all of the other items you may
choose to display, such as satellite (aerial)
photos or topo maps, a compass, special
“points of interest”, and other data you may
want to see. These additional items may all
be viewed together, as “layers” on top of the
base map.

The Four Main Pages (Overview)
3. The NAV (Navigation) Page
The NAV page provides a standard compass
display, with arrows to indicate your last
heading and/or current bearing, along with
magnetic or true north indication and other
optional navigation related data, depending
on the display preferences the user has set
up. This page is especially useful if you do
not choose to see a compass image layered
on top of the MAP page-you may switch
over to it at any time, then return to MAP
page just as you left it. Note that the compass
readings are based on your position relative
to the GPS satellites, and can therefore only
show your “direction” when you are moving,
unlike magnetic compasses.
ꢁ. NAV Page
4. The SET (Set Up) Page
The SET page is used to personalize how
the Onix displays information to suit your
needs and preferences. Many of the items
on the SET menu are options you may set
once when you first turn on your ONIX,
even before you begin using it to navigate,
and will probably leave on that setting for
the rest of the time you use your GPS.
The other pages have their own set of menus
that allow you to select options that affect
what types of information are displayed,
change their appearance, and recall or delete
previously stored map points, photos, etc.
ꢂ. SET Page-Full Menu
Pressing the Page View button after you are on the SET page will go back to
the SAT page-the button continues to“cycle” through the pages in order.

Page View Details
Fig. 1
1. SAT Page View (Fig. 1)
The SAT page view is used to identify the quality or
strength of the satellite signals being received by the
unit. Navigation data boxes on the satellite page are used
to identify your location, shown as POSition (latitude,
longitude) and ELEVation (altitude above sea level). The
items displayed on the satellite page view are fixed, and
cannot be changed by the user.
Note: initial satellite contact may take 3-4 minutes, but
will be faster on next power-up in the same area. If the
unit has been moved over 300 miles since was last used,
resetting this startup location data by enabling a “cold
start” initial power on can provide faster lock times (see
“Reset Data” on pg 14 for details).
2. MAP Page View (Fig. 2)
SAT Page
The MAP page view is the primary page you will use
to navigate with the ONIX-. Using Bushnell’s exclusive
screen layering, this page shows all navigational
information in a single view, on one display “page”. The
following items are always displayed on this page:
•Base Map-primary streets and location, similar to a basic
road map (also see “My Map Data”, pg.11).
Fig. 2
Range Ring
•Cursor-shows your location and direction. The cursor
can assume one of three shapes:
-a “bearing arrow” that shows your navigation
direction when you are moving (or heading
when you are not actively navigating)
-a circle-“you are here locator” to display your
current location relative to the map
-a “crosshairs” cursor that allows you to pan the
map, check position of waypoints or POI when
moved over them, use as a distance measuring tool, or
create routes. If you know the latitude/longitude (or other
coordinates as selected in the SET menu under “Units”)
of a location, you can move the crosshairs cursor on the
map with the 5-way pad until the coordinates shown in
the Nav data box match the location, then save it as a
waypoint by pressing the OK button twice.

options screen (Fig. 3). Use the 5-way button to move up
and down the options, press the center button to select
(check) or deselect (uncheck) the items you with to
include in your view.
Your map layer options are:
•Compass-indicates your current direction.
•Topo-the topographic map you choose from files you
download and store in the ONIX will be layered over the
base map
•North UP-arrow which points to North (true or magnetic,
user selectable). Will always (automatically) be shown
when satellite photos or topo maps are layered
•Range Ring-visual tool that represents distance on your
map or photo within a circle. The distance shown is the
radius of the circle. This radius is half the zoom level.
• Photos (Satellite) -superimposed over Base Map if
desired. You do not need to manually select the right
photo (or topo map) to use, as these downloaded files
are “geo referenced”, enabling your ONIX to choose
the correct photo automatically, based on your current
location and zoom level. Note that while both types of
images can be stored at the same time on your ONIX,
only one of them (photo or topo map) can be layered over
the base map at a time, not both at once.

•Reset Data (Fig. 11)-allows you to reset (clear) existing
data in the selected category, most commonly to clear
old “breadcrumb” trail marks from a past trip to the area.
One category in the Reset Data submenu is “Cold Start”,
which will force the ONIX to clear the satellite “almanac”
information which is stored automatically during the first
power-on to speed up the process of choosing the best
GPS satellites for your usual starting area. If this almanac
data is no longer valid, it will cause longer startup times.
Enabling a cold start is recommended if you have re-
located to a new area that is over 300 miles away from
your last power-on position.To enable Cold Start:
1) Turn the unit on
Display “Brightness”
on ONIX 200CR
SET Page-Display Options
2) Go to the SET page
3) Select RESET DATA and click OK
4) Select COLD START and click OK
Note that this will only take effect the next time the unit
is powered on-there is no advantage or reason to enable
Cold Start if the unit has already locked onto satellites in
a reasonable amount of time, and are still within about a
300-mile radius of the location where you first powered
up the ONIX.
•Language-selects language used for all display menus
and option screens
• Owner Info-allows you to input personal information for
identification shown at startup (if desired). Please refer to

• Battery selection-choice of alkaline or rechargeable
NiMh-set to match the type you are using to ensure the
battery indicator is accurate. If using lithium batteries, and
a “Lithium” setting is not available on your ONIX model,
select the NiMh setting.
• Unit Info-provides hardware/software version numbers
and serial number.

Using Your ONIX GPS
When the unit is first powered on, you will see the default
SAT screen. It may take up to 3 or 4 minutes for the unit
to scan and lock on to the GPS satellites during the first
power up in a new area-but will be faster when it is powered
on again later in the same area. (See “Reset Data” on pg
14 if you later relocate more than 300 miles away from
this initial area). Once it has locked into the satellites, the
satellite position icons will stop blinking and “go dark”,
you are ready to begin using the ONIX. The next step is
your choice-you may go to the NAV or SET page to select
options or make personal settings first, or begin navigating
by going directly to the MAP page.
Set A Waypoint
The simplest GPS function is to mark your present location.
Any location that you choose to mark is called a “waypoint”.
Setting a waypoint with your ONIX is as easy as clicking
the “OK” key (center of the 5-way switch) twice. The 1st
click calls up the Waypoint Edit Options, along with the Set
Waypoint Selection (Fig. 12). At this point, you can confirm
you want to set the waypoint by clicking “OK” again, and
it will be set. You also have the options to arrow up to edit
the waypoint name, select its icon, or set an alarm when
the waypoint is reached. You can go back and edit these
options at anytime even after you have clicked twice to set
the waypoint. If you choose not to set the waypoint, or you
want to delete the waypoint, select the left arrow and go to
the delete options (Fig. 13).
Edit Waypoint Menu
To edit the text, arrow up to the waypoint name (Fig. 12),
then click OK and use the keypad screen you will see to
create a name to replace it (see pg. 19 for details on using
the text tool for naming). You can also move down to select
the icon, and again press OK and choose from the available
different icons (see pg. 19). Move down to the alarm icon
in the popup window and press OK to turn on the alarm
for that waypoint. The last item in the popup allows you to
delete the waypoint (you will be asked if you are sure, to
prevent accidental deletions).

icon.
The next HOT button menu item is: Find/Go To. Click OK or right
arrow(on 5-way button) to find or go to any of the listed items (Fig.
15) (note that you can only select from previously stored items, not
create a new one, when using the Find/GoTo feature). Selecting
any of the items (by clicking “OK”) will activate navigation. The
title of the selected item will show on the screen, and the bearing
arrow will point in the correct direction to take you to it. To stop
this navigation activity, press the HOT button again-you will see
the option to stop. Press OK to confirm you want to stop navigating,
and you will be returned back to the MAP page screen, but without
the bearing arrow pointing the way to a specific destination.
Find/GoTo SubMenu
The available Find/GoTo items you can choose to navigate to are:
• Nearest Waypoint
• All Waypoints-pick from list of all (closest to furthest order)
• POI (Point of Interest)-gas stations, hospitals, etc.
• Places-built into the base map-city names, etc.
• My Trails-pick from list of saved Trails (see next section). The
ONIX will start pointing you to the closest point on that trail
(Fig. 16).

The remaining HOT button menu items are:
My Routes (Fig.19) (same 3 options as listed above for “My
Trails”)-a Route is the most direct or shortest path between two
points-”routes” are more often used for water based navigation
(due to the reduced number of natural obstacles), whereas “trails”
are more useful on land.
My Photos -you have the options here to navigate towards a stored
satellite photo (Fig. 20) or topo map, and to manage them (photos
& maps are downloaded, not user created).
SafeTrack Selected Screen
SafeTrack™ Battery Conservation Mode
SafeTrack mode should be set whenever you are using your
GPS, extending your battery life, without the wait to re-establish
satellite contact you would have after a full power off. SafeTrack
mode can be started in either of two ways. The first way is to
hold the hot button for 2 seconds (make sure you have exited any
page menu first). The SafeTrack Selected screen will be displayed
(Fig. 21), the unit will automatically go into SafeTrack, and the
red indicator light at the top center of the ONIX will come on as
you enter SafeTrack (then change to blinking green). The second
way to enter SafeTrack mode is by selecting “SafeTrack” from
the hot button menu, as shown on page 16 (Fig. 14). Arrow down
to “Start SafeTrack” and press OK to enter and start SafeTrack
automatically.

Glossary
•Accuracy: A measure of how close an estimate of a GPS position is to the true location.
•Acquisition Time: The time it takes a GPS receiver to acquire satellite signals and determine
the initial position.
•Active Leg: The segment of a route currently being traveled. A “segment” is that portion of
a route between any two waypoints in the route.
•Altimeter: An instrument for determining elevation.
•Altitude: The current elevation above sea level.
•Atomic Clock: A very precise clock that operates using the elements cesium or rubidium. A
cesium clock has an error of one second per million years. GPS satellites contain multiple
cesium and rubidium clocks.
•Basemap: Built-in basemaps, which typically include coverage of oceans, rivers, and lakes;
principal cities, smaller cities, and towns; interstates, highways, and local thoroughfares;
and railroads, airports, and political boundaries. Basemaps are available in a variety of
global coverage areas, depending on the user’s needs.
•Bearing: The compass direction from a position to a destination, measured to the nearest
degree (also call an azimuth). In a GPS receiver, bearing usually refers to the
direction to a waypoint.
•Cold Start: The power-on sequence where the GPS receiver downloads almanac data
before establishing a position fix.
•Coordinates: A set of numbers that describes your location on or above the earth.
Coordinates are typically based on latitude/longitude lines of reference or a global/regional
grid projection (e.g., UTM, MGRS, Maidenhead).
•Coordinated Universal Time (UTC): Replaced Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) as the world
standard for time in 1986. UTC uses atomic clock measurements to add or omit leap
seconds each year to compensate for changes in the rotation of the earth.
•Heads Up Orientation: Fixes the GPS receiver’s map display so the direction of navigation
is always “up.“
•Datum:Amath model which depicts a part of the surface of the earth. Latitude and longitude
lines on a paper map are referenced to a specific map datum. The map datum selected on
a GPS receiver needs to match the datum listed on the corresponding paper map in order
for position readings to match.
•Distance:The length (in feet, meters, miles, etc.) between two waypoints or from your current
position to a destination waypoint. This length can be measured in straight-line (rhumb
line) or great-circle (over the earth) terms. GPS normally uses great circle calculations for
distance and desired track.
•Geocaching: A high-tech version of hide-and-seek. Geocachers seek out hidden treasures
utilizing GPS coordinates posted on the Internet by those hiding the cache.
•Geodetic Datum: A math model representing the size and shape of the earth (or a portion
of it).
•Geographic Information System (GIS): A computer system or software capable of
assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced information
ꢀꢁ

Glossary
(i.e., data identified according to their location). In practical use, GIS often refers to the
computer system, software, and the data collection equipment, personnel, and actual
data.
•Global Positioning System (GPS): A global navigation system based on 24 or more
satellites orbiting the earth at an altitude of 12,000 statue miles and providing very precise,
worldwide positioning and navigation information 24 hours a day, in any weather. Also called
the NAVSTAR system.
•GoTo: A route consisting of one leg, with your present position being the start of the route
and a single defined waypoint as the destination.
•Greenwich Mean Time (GMT): The mean solar time for Greenwich, England, which is
located on the Prime Meridian (zero longitude). Based on the rotation of the earth, GMT is
used as the basis for calculating standard time throughout most of the world.
•Grid: A pattern of regularly spaced horizontal and vertical lines forming square zones on
a map used as a reference for establishing points. Grid examples are UTM, MGRS, and
Maidenhead.
•Heading: The direction in which a vehicle is moving. For air and sea operations, this may
differ from actual Course Over Ground (COG) due to winds, currents, etc.
•Initialization: The first time a GPS receiver orients itself to its current location and collects
almanac data. After initialization has occurred, the receiver remembers its location and
acquires a position more quickly because it knows which satellites to look for.
•Latitude: A position’s distance north or south of the equator, measured by degrees from
zero to 90.One minute of latitude equals one nautical mile..
•Leg: A portion of a route consisting of a starting (from) waypoint and a destination (to)
waypoint. A route that is comprised of waypoints A, B, C, and D would contain three legs.
The route legs would be from A to B, from B to C, and from C to D.
•Longitude: The distance east or west of the prime meridian (measured in degrees). The
prime meridian runs from the north to south pole through Greenwich, England.
•Magnetic North: Represents the direction of the north magnetic pole from the observer’s
position. The direction a compass points.
•Map Display: A graphic representation of a geographic area and its features.
•Nautical Mile: A unit of length used in sea and air navigation, based on the length of one
minute of arc of a great circle, especially an international and U.S. unit equal to 1,852
meters (about 6,076 feet).
•Navigation: The act of determining the course or heading of movement. This movement
could be for a plane, ship, automobile, person on foot, or any other similar means.
•North Up Orientation: Fixes the GPS receiver’s map display so north is always fixed at the
top of the screen.
•Position: An exact, unique location based on a geographic coordinate system.
•Position Fix: The GPS receiver’s computed position coordinates.
•Position Format: The way in which the GPS receiver’s position will be displayed on the
screen. Commonly displayed as latitude/longitude in degrees and minutes, with options for
degrees, minutes and seconds, degrees only, or one of several grid formats.

Glossary
•Route: A group of waypoints entered into the GPS receiver in the sequence you desire to
navigate them.
•Statute Mile: A unit of length equal to 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards (1,609 meters) used in the
U.S. and some other English-speaking countries.
•Time To First Fix (TTFF): If you have not used your GPS unit for several months, the
almanac data for the satellites may be out of date. The unit is capable of recollecting this
information on its own, but the process can take several minutes. Time to First Fix (TTFF) is
the time it takes a GPS receiver to find satellites after the user first turns it on (when the GPS
receiver has lost memory or has been moved over 300 miles from its last location).
Track Up Orientation: Fixes the GPS receiver’s map display so the current track heading is
at the top of the screen.
•Trail: The actual course that has been traveled, composed of a series of trail points.
•True North: The direction of the north pole from your current position. Magnetic compasses
indicate north differently due to the variation between true north and magnetic north. A GPS
receiver can display headings referenced to true north or magnetic north.
•Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM): A nearly worldwide coordinate projection system
using north and east distance measurements from reference point(s). UTM is the primary
coordinate system used on U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps.
•User Segment: The segment of the complete GPS system that includes the GPS receiver
and operator.
•UTC: See Coordinated Universal Time.
•UTM: See Universal Transverse Mercator.
•Waterproof: An IPX7 designation means the GPS case can withstand accidental immersion
in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
•Waypoints: Waypoints are locations or landmarks worth recording and storing in your GPS.
These are locations you may later want to return to. They may be check points on a route
or significant ground features. (e.g., camp, the truck, a fork in a trail, or a favorite fishing
spot). Waypoints may be defined and stored in the unit manually by taking coordinates for
the waypoint from a map or other reference. This can be done before ever leaving home.
Or more usually, waypoints may be entered directly by taking a reading with the unit at the
location itself, giving it a name, and then saving the point. Waypoints may also be put into
the unit by referencing another waypoint already stored, giving the reference waypoint, and
entering the distance and compass bearing to the new waypoint.
•Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS): A system of satellites and ground stations that
provide GPS signal corrections for better position accuracy. A WAAS-capable receiver
can give you a position accuracy of better than three meters, 95 percent of the time. (At
this time, the system is still in the development stage and is not fully operational.) WAAS
consists of approximately 25 ground reference stations positioned across the United States
that monitor GPS satellite data. Two master stations, located on either coast, collect data
from the reference stations and create a GPS correction message.
•WGS-84: World Geodetic System, 1984. The primary map datum used by GPS. Secondary
datums are computed as differences from the WGS 84 standard.
