i dont like the idea of a unit that does both vhf and gps. If it goes on the fritz your screwed.... uniden has a record of doing just that... I now own icoms. Not to mention, the gps on that unit is not that great... harder to use than garmin, and overall dissapointing. The mystic is more vhf than gps. I always recomend buying the best handheld radio possible to for kayakers... the icom handheld with the 6 watt power setting... more range.
uniden makes a lot of products, most not marine based... telephones and shit... which ive also been disapointed with. Go with a brand that specializes in marine radios... icom or Standard H
