Information On The Garmin RINO GPS Devices

Garmin has come out with two RINO devices, both of which work on the radioing technology. If you have ever been lost while you were with someone else, or if you are missing a member of your party when outside, the Garmin RINO GPS can help you find them out. RINO stands for Radio Integrated with Navigation for the Outdoors. The name surely suggests what the devices are all about.

The two variants of the Garmin RINO GPS are:- 1. Garmin RINO 520 and 2. Garmin RINO 530.

Let us take a look at their features.

Garmin RINO 520

The Garmin RINO 520 GPS has an ultra sensitive receiver which helps to find the owner's position with extreme rapidity. The GPS of the device is so sensitive that it can pinpoint the location of an individual even if they are underwater, in dense forests or at an altitude. It is one of the most sensitive GPS devices.

The device is quite helpful when people are trying to locate each other. The best use of the device is made in pairs. If you have one handset and your friend has another and you are apart, you can very easily send a signal of where you are on the other person's GPS. This radioing feature is quite quick and efficient too, making you easily locate the person at the other end and to transmit your location.

However, it is not necessary that you have someone with another GPS waiting to receive your message. You can transmit the location to any normal radio in the vicinity that has an FRS/GMRS technology. This is the pioneering Position Reporting technology that Garmin RINO GPS 520 made popular in the world.

The price of the Garmin RINO 520 is around $400 for the US market, depending on the source from where you purchase. You will get it cheaper over the Internet.

This means, you can use the device to find out what the best time to venture out on sea is or how high you are while you are scaling a cliff. Appearance-wise, the device looks the same as the 520, but is available in different body colors.

The price of the Garmin RINO 530 is around $420 for the US market, depending on the source from where you purchase. You will get it cheaper over the Internet.
