For the price range, this is a good unit. I'm only giving it a 4, however, because I think the 120 is a better deal for the $$$ (see my review on the Rino 120). I've been using FRS radios since the first Motorolas came out, and I'm now hooked on the Rinos.
The GPS isn't nearly as pretty as most of the GPS only units, being just black and white, but it can contain full maps, etc, that you can download. I love the ability to see exactly where the person you are talking to is located on the GPS (if they are also using a RINO). I use my Rino 120 regularly and am very happy with it. With the 120 or higher you can download actual maps, etc.
I would suggest buying the 120 over the 110 if you can afford it. However, I have compared and can't justify the $80 difference between the 120 and 130. The only real difference is extra memory. This is only really needed for cross-country trips. Maps can be easily changed with a few clicks of a mouse on your computer. I have almost my entire home state on my 120.
I did also have a few problems with the GPS in more confined cities where you don't have much view of the sky, but I think this is probably a problem with many GPS units.
I love my Rinos and they can be an absolute lifesaver in the back-country. Imagine being stuck somewhere, but talking to someone on the radio...with that radio and GPS they can follow you to your exact location.
