The QYT KT-U980 VHF (40/10 Watt) and UHF (30/10Watt) mobile transceiver for $151 at the 409Shop.

Via Nate:

"On a first glance, it looks like a Anytone AT-558/TYT-9000, then I noticed the dual band display. 

Looks like you can get a dual band single receive for the price of a single band radio (similar to the Baofeng UV5R), $151 on 409shop. 

Pufang BF-9500U (another clone of the Anytone AT-558) sells for $148."

Garmin Connect Full-screen Map Fix

When you do longer runs, the map of the route on Garmin Connect is woefully inadequate. It is way too small. I found this fix for the problem. It adds a button to the map, so you can do full screen. It does not work for me with the "Modern" view.
