Guest lobsterman Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Rhino 520 GPS system No matter where your outdoor activities take you, the Rino 520 keeps you on track and in touch. This rugged, two-way radio with GPS packs a bold color display, 12-mile communication range, and turn-by-turn directions — giving you peace of mind in the great outdoors. Taking it a step further, the Rino 530 adds an electronic compass, barometric altimeter, and NOAA weather receiver, making it a favorite with hikers and climbers. Exclusive position-reporting capability and a host of other unique features, make the 520 one of the best all-in-one two-way radio and GPS receivers around. As with other members of the Rino family, the 520’s patented location-reporting feature allows you to send and receive GPS positions with other Rino users in your group. One call to your partner's Rino, and your location shows up on the map page. You can even poll another Rino user's location in emergency situations. Additional features unique to the 520 include: Whopping 5 watts of transmit power (GMRS) means you can now call for help from 12 miles away (transmit power limited to 2 watts in Canada with a range up to 8 miles) Bold color TFT display makes it easy to see and navigate to family or friends with Rinos at an amusement park, lake, or other outdoor group activity Automatic route generation, off-route recalculation, turn-by-turn directions with alert tones, and icon-driven menus for finding points of interest (when combined with Garmin’s optional MapSource® City Select® software) navigate you safely to your next outdoor adventure Mini USB and 56 megabytes of internal memory for rapid download and lots of map storage of Garmin’s entire line of outdoor cartography Rechargeable internal lithium-ion battery provides up to 16 hours of outdoor use The Rino 520 comes with a built-in detailed basemap of North and South America.

bowhtr1 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Re: new rhino 520 Sounds nice but I would bet by next year your cell phone will be able to do all that also. I like the rhino and wish I had a set. I just last year bought a set of Midland that has a 15 mile range. I cant believe how fast things progress.
