Know exactly where you are at all times with Rino 520HCx and the precision of high-sensitivity GPS. This waterproof FRS/GMRS radio plus GPS navigator sports 5 watts of transmit power, a microSD card slot*, brilliant color display and a high-sensitivity GPS receiver — so you’ll never be lost again.

*Blank microSD card (not included) required to download from MapSource CD-ROM and DVD.

Pinpoint Your Position

With its high-sensitivity GPS receiver, Rino 520HCx locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear — whether you’re in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on Rino 520HCx to help you find your way when you need it the most.

Find Your Friends

Like the rest of the Rino series, Rino 520HCx offers a unique Position Reporting feature. Position Reporting lets you send your exact location to other Rino users in your group so that everyone can see your position on the map page. A patented Position Polling feature allows you to get the current position of the other Rino users in your group and display them on your map page. And, because Rino is a standard FRS/GMRS radio, you can use it to communicate with any other conventional FRS/GMRS radio around.

Rino 520HCx boasts a whopping 5 watts of transmit power (GMRS**), which lets you contact others from up to 14 miles away (line of sight).

Think of MapSource as an atlas that contains many smaller maps. By choosing several of these maps, you can make a map set. This map set can then be transferred to your compatible GARMIN GPS, which allows you to tailor the map detail for the geographic areas you wish to view. For instance, if you are planning a trip by car, your map set might only need to include those maps that are along your intended driving route. MapSource gives you the flexibility to choose the extent of the mapping coverage. Blank microSD card (not included) required to download from MapSource CD-ROM and DVD.

Use the trip and waypoint manager functions to create waypoints, routes, and tracks, and transfer them between your GARMIN GPS and your PC. This is excellent for planning your next outdoor adventure, business trip, vacation, or recreational outing without ever leaving your house.
