Garmin Rino 120

Pros: Physically feels very solid but light. Good screen, basemap detail and coverage; good radio range.

Cons: Serial port PC cable (but USB adapter available); navigation takes getting used to; no auto-routing.

The Bottom Line: Good GPS / mapping performance for a handheld unit; good 2-way radio; all in all, Garmin Rino 120 is an awesome accessory for any traveler.

Review: A mapping GPS receiver and a FRS / GMRS 2-way radio in a single small, rugged, waterproof (submersible) device would seem like a traveler's dream. But does it realize its potential in practical use? The short answer is "yes, for the most part."

Pros: Great functions, very good sattelite reception, waterproof.

Cons: Click stick too small, awkward somewhat bulky shape.

The Bottom Line: So far, I'm very pleased with the GPS functions of this unit. Just need to check out the radio performance to say it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Review: This is an excellent unit for the hunter or avid outdoorsman! It picks up and holds onto sattelites better than most units I have seen. I've had about 5 different GPS's over the last few years and this is the coolest and best functioning one for...

Pros: light weight.Waterproof.fairly easy to use

Cons: color

The Bottom Line: Great gps. Tons of usable features

Review: I bought the 110 for hunting and hiking. I wasn't interested in the 120 due to cost and features i would never use. The 110 frs radio is pretty good. I can communicate with my buddy easily although we didn't test the range over 1 km.I chose the...

Pros: Battery life, GPS accuracy, features, concept

Cons: Radio is simply useless. Not exaggerating.

The Bottom Line: I'm not sure if I can recommend it. The radio is marginal, but they're customer service is excellent, which is worth a lot. So "maybe".

Review: GPS is great.

Radio has caused me lots of troubles. On first hunting trip, nobody could hear me, I thought the radio was crap, it was nearly a year old and I didn't have the receipt, but I called Garmin and they agreed to fix it. I sent it...

Pros: Location sending, FRS/GMRS two-way radio, size, durability

Cons: Battery life and power button placement

The Bottom Line: Don't have $3k to spend on marine electronics - how bout $500 for a two pack! Makes keeping track of loved ones easy.

Review: Garmin has been an industry leader in Global Positioning Service (GPS) for a long time. There really are only two at the retail, everyday consumer level that provide GPS, Garmin and Magellan. Now, Garmin has added two-way radio features to their...

Pros: Awesome concept, great execution, seamless radio/GPS interface.

Cons: Legendary Garmin crappy GPS reception. Little memory for custom maps.

The Bottom Line: A good buy, and a good concept if it serves your needs. A separate purchase might be more practical for most.

Review: My other reviews on GPSs focus on Magellans, which I consider to be a superior product with better satellite signal processing. That said, the Garmin Rhino 120 has won me over with the basic concept. A FRS/GMRS radio with dozens of great features...

Pros: Good GPS function, convenient size for hunting/hiking.

Cons: Poor radio function. Very limited compatibility with other mapping and Topo software.

The Bottom Line: Unless you don't need the radio I would stay away. Wait for someone else to release a like unit.

Review: Bought this unit with a friend to use for hunting. I wish I had read some reviews first. We found that after a somewhat steep learning curve, the GPS functions were pretty good. The only GPS issue we had any trouble with was occasional signal loss...

Pros: Easy for any age to use. Stay in contact with your kids by using display.

Cons: Battery life short. Use battery saver feature and turn volume down to extend life.

Review: I own both the Rino 110 and Rino 120. Both models are light weight, easy to use and are PACKED with extra features that I did not expect. The Rino 120 has extra memory for more detailed mapping and memory. I live in Southern Utah and spend most if...

Pros: Easy to use GPS

Cons: The worst audio of any frs radio on the market

The Bottom Line: Wait until they work out the bugs

Review: What a great idea, an FRS radio and GPS in one small package. The GPS has a small screen but the zoom makes up for that. Garmin has done a great job making the GPS as simple to use as any I have tried. The Rino uses a Click stick (joy stick ) to...

Pros: Great product, great features.

Cons: Doesn't live up to its advertising.

The Bottom Line: Great product, inaccurate product description.

Review: They lied in their advertising. The unit only transmits at 1 watt, not 2 watts. 2 watts is required for talking 5 miles. Motorola Distance transmits 2 watts and claims 5 mile range, how can Garmin make the same claim while only transmitting at 1...
