I'm looking to get the garmin rino 650, I'm going to send in my older 530 and they are giving me 20% off for it. The rino is really nice if your hunting partners have one, they can walk right to you just by using the rino.
Two years now and I still have not grown to like the touchscreen on the 650. Just something to consider, maybe a try for awhile before you buy if you can borrow one.
The touchscreen pins to easy, is difficult to pan without accidentally causing a tap command, panning in general is super frustrating.
two cents...

I forget which one it is. I buy mine through them.

i don't want the touch screen at all, heard about those problems. I think the 650 isn't the touch screen, I thought the touch was the 650t? I hope they have a non- touch model. ?I'm looking to get the garmin rino 650, I'm going to send in my older 530 and they are giving me 20% off for it.

The 650 is a touch screen. The 650t is the same but had the topo maps included. Not sure about the other models.i don't want the touch screen at all, heard about those problems.

Thank you for all the inputs :tup: I saw this one on the REI page and seems to be half the price of others I have seen. Would this be a good option or should I go the more epxensive route with these things? I have never owned a GPS unit and frankly a lot of the features are confusing to me.I'm new with gps' and just got a 64s. Really user friendly, got to use it a little bit for the first time today.

TH, I hope you didn't take this trade for 20% off. The 530hxc goes for more than you paid for it on CL and Ebay all day long if you can find them.. The 530hxc is the best unit they have ever made IMO and people want them. I don't like the new ones at all IMO. I know guys that will trade their 650 straight across for your 530.

hmm, I wanted the 530hcx but they don't make them anymore. I have the 530, no sd card model.I'm looking to get the garmin rino 650, I'm going to send in my older 530 and they are giving me 20% off for it.

Oh ok. The Hcx ix the hot one and impossible to find. Garmin really screwed up going with the touch screen. Especially those of us that use them all winter long on sleds.hmm, I wanted the 530hcx but they don't make them anymore.
