Summary

Excellent GPS with radio, but flies through batteries.

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Great radio distance
  • Very accurate

Cons

  • Short battery life
  • No Preloaded Maps

This little unit definitely gets the job done. It is very lightweight, but unfortunately you only get about 15-20 hours of battery life. This is due to having both a gps and a radio. Would have given it 5 stars but there are no loaded topo maps!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome product! I used it with great delight on my last trip into the woods. I was able to communicate via the radio with my non-RINO owning friends and using this piece of equipment is heaven on earth when it comes to the GPS aspect of the product. Get it now!
