Hand Held Garmin GPS question

[BrockGrimes]

Anyone use the handheld units that include the radio feature?
Says it's good up to 2 miles. It's like 22 channel. Do these hit the same channels as CB's? A Radio/GPS hand held together would really be good.
Thoughs? Have one?

I think the majority of us have the Garmin V. Its a nice unit, but doesnt have enough memory as far as Im concerned.

If you're talking something like the Garmin "Rhino":

......those are on the Family Radio Service. 462 mHZ FM as opposed to CB's 27 mHZ AM (no cross compatibility)

In perfect free zone - maybe 2 miles - probably half that on the trail.
