I use this for everything from keeping track of the kids in the woods around the house (they have my older model RINOs), to trekking the backcountry. It takes some time to get use to because it has so many features. But once you get it setup (which is not really that hard) the way you want, you'll love it.
Solid product

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Good product, GPS location of "buddies" not quite the same range of the radio. Antenna cover can come lose but overall, an excellent product more capable than any other. [$]
