I'm gonna try to get a few other guys to buy also
It's definitely worth getting a few other to buy them as well. these things have paid for themselves several times!!! Being able to communicate via radio, see each other on the screen and track where you have been, it's pretty cool!!!
We also downloaded topographical maps which also helps a ton for navigation.
My crew has had mixed results with them. No doubt the ability to locate your buddy pretty much pays for the device, but mine as well as few others in my crew have had issues with them. I get random reboots, sometimes it powers off even when locked. I've tried keeping it in a front pocket, and I have chest harness as well. Maybe it's something about PacNW elements wet 32/33 degree snow. We've yet to find a good headset to use them handsfree.
This season we've all switched to BCA Link radios. I'll still bring the Garmin but it'll probably reside in my handlebar bag for tracking purposes only.

Great units, I have the older 530CX and it still works 100% to this day, almost 5 years old! Its been sledding, hunting and whatever other outdoor sports needs some sort of mapping/radio. Great battery life, good radio range and as mentioned, easy to find your buddy just from their radio transmission.....Sherm
