I down loaded the manual for the Gmrs/GPS unit and it's list of features wasn't very clear as to its real potential. It says it records 5 tracks but doesn't say how many points per track can be saved. Other features are similarly not defined very well. It says it receives signals from 8 satelites, so it isn't a 12 parallel channel receiver either. I'm not sure just how much that would reduce precision. Also there is no info on expected battery life. Of coarse that would depend on radio usage as well as GPS use.
