[QUOTE="kyron, post: 1316622, member: 95130"] I received this a little while ago. It is still early product stage but it seems to work really good. My wife and I took them hiking in the Tennessee hills last weekend and we were able to communicate well. It does require line of sight but was good to as much range as we could get in the hills(probably about a mile). My brother in law said he got it up to 3 miles on the beach in California. The Map downloads are good. One minor issue currently you have to down load the default map scheme as well as any of the other schemes that you want to use for the area you need. If you don't download the default scheme it can't locate you on that one once you have no data so it does not work. As long as you have the default scheme though you can use any of the others with no problem. You can also send your location to anyone you are able to talk to. Looks like there may be more features coming. I'm going to be incommunicado for a few weeks but will answer any questions to the best of my ability when I get back. [/QUOTE]
