Beyond the map and compass aspect of things, the GPS (at least the Rino) is so useful. When scouting, you have all your tracks mapped, way points named, elevations, etc. I have a windshield mount and use it for driving navigation. It isn't TomTom but I can see all my roads and turns and literally drive back to anyplace I've been accurately. It isn't just about knowing where you are in the woods. However, the radio function of the Rino let's you see where your partners are at any give time. It displays positions either by polling or just talking to each other. I will not be without one again.
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

I will loan someone my spare Rino 520HCX if they want to test drive it.

I bought my father the 110 and he loves it, but it isnt mapable....so i would either stick with a 120 or 130...but you cant go wrong with a rino all together. especially if you can get a good deal.

Radios are very strong also.

What do you mean by not mapable? Not being able to load your own maps?

yeah it already has a map on it, but you cant put topos on it or anything else like that.....it is just a very basic map....thats the 110 though....

If your gonna buy a Rino get the 520hcx or 530hcx.  I upgraded from the Rino 120, because of the lack of memory and range.  I paid 350 for the 530hcx, and the 520hcx was about 320.  Do the right thing and spend the extra $$$ you will be glad u did.  My  :twocents:

Killbilly, if your serious I would take you up on it.  I do Mounted Search and Rescue and I'm seriously thinking of getting the 520 or 530.  A test drive would be great.  Say for a few days?

I just want to publicly say thanks to KillBilly for mailing me the Rhino 520 unit to try out and get familiar with.  That sure is a very nice thing to do!  I'll report back in a couple of weeks!  Thanks again KillBilly!!! :whoo:

I hope you know I was kidding.  First off there were no waypoints on the unit.  Secondly I would NEVER share another man's hard earned spot with anyone.  I know how hard it is to find sweet spots and I know how the slip of the tongue can ruin a spot in an instant.  I was just messing with you.  Talk to you later.  Fred
