Garmin 600 and 650
« on: July 20, 2016, 09:02:32 PM »
What the difference between the Garmin 600 and 650? Is it mainly just the camera? Cabelas has a good deal on the 600... or should I wait and save tonget the 650?

Rino is worth while if you have someone else with one.  Makes it nice, you can find them on your map and talk/text them.  If you hunt mostly solo, I'd probably go with the Oregon.


For the record I have a rino 650 and love it.

the 610 has a weaker radio.

biggest is this :yeah:. 600 has LOW WATTAGE (this means way less range) . line of sight transmission vs obstructed goes way down with the 600 (hills , woods , ect..). The 650 works very well, have several. 655 gives cam and weather adds (for a pretty penny). The camera is pretty good too, you can chip it and leave your other camera at home, one less thing to carry.

Watch Cabelas for specials on the 650's, even home depot! Should be able to get for under 350$ if you are patient.

650 or 655T Rino. If your partner doesn't have a Rino now, they can get one the next time they need a GPS. Knowing where your buddy is and being able to communicate with them is huge. It really puts a whole new perspective on using the GPS and working with another hunter.

I saw the sale too and ordered the 600. I think the difference is the 650 has a camera. Arrives today so I will see tonight what I think.

Well I just called Garmin and the only difference is the camera. The 650 has a little bit more storage becuase of the camera but that's it. I think I am going to get the 600. Hopefully sportsman's warehouse will price match or else it looks like I'm gonna have to wait bybthe mail box for a few days.

Pulled the trigger on the 600. I really liked the rino but like I said earlier I. Normally hunt alone and the radio didn't make much sense to me at the moment. Later if I get some more guys to hunt with I will definitely look atbthe rino again. I tried tonget sportsman warehouse to price match but the closes they would cone was 300, so after shipping and everything one was still 30 buck under there price match... can't wait to get it and start playing with it.

Mine came today. So far it's great. Get the rechargeable battery. Everyone said these go through batteries fast. I bought the rechargeable and it's still at full charge after being on 6 hours.
