Anybody Have Experience With These Garmin RINO's?

I am looking into getting two of these things for camping, fishing, snowmobiling etc. The have the ability to show where your friends are who are also on and set up for it. It would make it easy to prevent getting lost.

I went ahead and got my Garmin 655T RINO radio/GPS unit. It is pricey but it is a nice piece of equipment. GPS and two way radio in one. Their claim is up to 20 miles two way radio on GRMS, which requires an FCC license, which anyone can get for applying. Has a camera integrated with the GPS, can take a pic of a spot and navigate back to it anytime. Has NOAA weather channels and more. Software availability is varied and so far I like this thing.
