For my Search and Rescue work, I got a Garmin Rino 120. This is a <s>walkie-talkie</s> FRS/GRMS Radio. It's also got integrated GPS, and when you use them in the field, when you talk, you also can broadcast your position to all other radios you're talking to, so you know where everyone is if everyone's got the feature turned on.
As a GPS, it gives you heading and speed as well as, obviously, 3-D location, so it makes a nifty pedometer. It looks like it's going to be a really cool toy; I'm going to try geocaching soon.
