I have two of these. You can choose to make your radio discoverable to others in the area. And you can click to search if other gmrs pros are nearby. Even if they are not in your group. GPS will show you where they are. It also can scan from two meters through 520 MHz.

GPS. I purchased the BTECH GMRS Pro A few days ago I’ve been playing around with it what I love most is complete control through my phone. I’m really happy I’ve had no problem connecting to local repeaters getting very clear signals.

Been thinking about getting into GMRS, no repeaters in my area but our amateur radio club is contemplating the idea. This looks like a very likely contender for a handheld, the (GPS) and bluetooth functions are awesome.

GPS. My camping group is using them and having a blast. We can track each other and send messages without any problems. Absolutely loving ours. We are also taking our technician tests in a couple of weeks in Dallas. Might catch you on the air one day. Love your videos man, keep up the great work.

"GPS". Thanks for the video. Mine arrived today and your overview of it was very helpful. So far seems to be a great GMRS!

GPS - Got mine today, it is intriguing for sure! I found that you can enter the Ham APRS freq. and much to my surprise and delight, the display works very nearly the same as a ham band radio (no TX, of course!)

When I go out with my buddies, they get the BTECH and I use my (MAD unlocked) FT-5DR, although, I think it might be better if we all just had the BTECH - given the location services advantages...

GPS. Good review, I have an older and discontinued BTech GMRS-V1. Many of the same features, other than the big screen. Plus mine was $54.99 when I bought it 2 years ago.

GPS I haven’t used my GMRS PRO for much more than an off-road HT and a local scanner. I think my wife appreciates the Bluetooth a lot. I have my ear buds connected so she doesn’t get annoyed with channel scanning. I found the Android version of the app to be far better than the iPhone version. I use an old LG tablet for programming and mapping. I almost threw out that old tablet😅

Just an update. I did get the GMRS Pro but ended up returning it. Really liked everything about it but could not get the compass to calibrate and the deal breaker was the volume settings were not linear. As you lowered the volume via the knob, the volume would lower in notches. At its lowest setting it was still too loud and then when you tried lowering it just a little, the volume would be totally off. Ended up ordering a BTech GMRS V2 instead for $100 less and absolutely love it.

The apps for iOS and Android have very different user interfaces and, some features are not available in both. All in all, they have a lot of potential and are reasonably priced. BTech offers volume pricing. Fingers crossed for a Ham radio model.
