Touch screen Rinos

[Bob33]

Bob you too smart for me!   I didnt see rino 650 on sportco website?  Good unit though.

Thanks. If I were smarter I'd figure out a way to distribute the maps to others.

$389  MSRP is $499 and you can usually find them for $450.  I just got mine from REI for $445, so it's getting returned.

You do know that REI members get a 10% dividend, so when you've returned it to REI and bought the other for $389 you'll only be a few dollars ahead....

(I also have an REI VISA card that gives another 5% on REI purchases, so I get a 15% dividend on them.)

Yeah, I guess that $15 I'd save isn't worth the gas to get there and driving in that area.   Thanks.

389$ pretty decent price!  I paid 500 for my 655t.

Not to mention REI's customer service is excellent should you ever have any problem. At least that's been my experience for many, many years.

I have the 655T - Love it! No issues.

So far less than impressed with mine....
Take WAY to long to recognize a "friend" that I can visibly see.....
Also very annoyed with the little beep that sounds off every time you key up.....
To pay that much and have a VERY poor quality 1:100 map is also a bit annoying.....
And its huge...

I think if my friends were able to use MGRS, and as knowledgable as I am on GPS use, i'd rather rock a quality two way, and a quality GPS..... Not a all in one.....

You may have an internal problem with yours. I'd consider sending it in. I've never had a GPS lock up so quickly in heavy cover/extreme weather. My friends show up instantly when they key their units. The 100K map is worthless. You need to subscribe for the 24K. $20 for all the maps you can upload in a year.

The radio is just as powerful as any other handheld I've used. Why carry two pieces of equipment?

[Bob33]

You can turn off the key beeps. Setup > Tones > Key Beep > Off.

Did you mean GMRS and not MGRS? The 650 series can transmit on 5 watt GMRS.

[Mudman]

   Yup.  They are awesome!

[Mossy]

Looks like the 530hxc is a discontinued item. So it's either the 610 or 650

The 610 is only a 1 watt radio and missing other functions like 3axis compass I think.  650 is the way to go.  I just picked up 2 guys in Winston unit 8.5 miles away clear and had em located on my 655.  Awesome.

Yes, although I am sure you can still buy them new from online vendors and maybe locally..  Ive had mine five or so years.  I will upgrade maybe next year to the 655T.

I run the 655t and love it so far!  It was my first upgrade since those old etrex's, and obviously a huge difference. 

When I shed hunt I run a grid, which especially in the reprod/brush here on the west side can be tough to do without missing patches or doubling up on a section.  When I do find something, or anything of interest for that matter like a rub, bedding area, wallow etc.  I can take a picture with it and it gets tagged with coordinates and is loaded onto Garmin Basecamp when I upload my routes.  Pretty neat!

Attached is an example.  Sorry it's cropped so much, I didn't want to include too much in the picture that might give the location away.
