Has any heard of or currently own the new UHF Radio/GPS in one. If so what are your thoughts on these and are they a good buy.

Yep have seen them. They're a pretty basic GPS, the one I saw you couldn't load waypoints etc. was more of an electronic compass. One good feature was if someone else had the same unit and you called each other the GPS would guide you to their location.
I have a brochure somewhere so if I can dig it out I'll put some of the features here for you

I have no idea how/if they work or how good they are.

I looked at them a while back. Biggest issue for me was they don't (didn' tthen ayway) have the ability to provide an output to a PC for mapping etc.

I asked this question on ExploreOz a few weeks back and I had a heap of responses saying ... no, don't bother...

I am now more enlightened having asked the question, and the responses gave me great insight into what ppl use and how they use it.
