Got this as a gift for my soldier daughter who was on her way overseas. She has already used it and been proud she has it. That's good enough for me.
Youngest son has another Garmin he uses for hunting. Quality products - top of the line electronics and sturdy.
Could be better with an IASUS throat mic February 19, 2006

We have many sets of radios as we use them for airsoft and paintballing. When we decided to buy a 2in1 system (GPS and radio) we deicided to look at these. The GPS unit is awesome. When using the radio, I find that the batteries drain a little too fast. We therefore purchased a set of IASUS throat mics online (AMAZON doesn't carry them!) so we could save more battery power. That actually made the unit sound better also! If the radio didn't eat up so much power and sounded better, I would give the Garmin a 5 star.
Very good. May 3, 2005

It seems that you either love or hate the Rino 110 Frs/Gmrs/Gps. Before I bought mine, I had heard of some that used theirs in Iraq and loved them, and some that left them in the sand. But I must say that I love mine. I got it last week and have put it through a few paces, and so far it is great. It looks and feels solid...even before you put the batteries in, which give it a nice heft. The only problem that I have seen is the fact that when you use the GPS and GMRS radio at the same time, you can almost feel the alkaline batteries draining. But I fixed this when I went to 2300 mAh Ni-Mh batteries. As they say, it just keeps going and going. It is also nice (considering where I live in the Pacific Northwest) to not have to worry about getting it wet. And also not to have to carry both a GPS and separate radio. I also just bought the data cable (got it on ebay for only 3.25 FRNs!) so I can download all the latest software updates from Garmin. BTW, this little sucker is just a little bit complicated, but the menus are intuitive and the guide book well written.
Great tool!! (in open areas) September 16, 2004

The Rino works great when you are keeping track of your friends on a camping trip. In some open areas you can truly keep track of your friends from 1 to 2 miles away. However in urban, or even suburban areas the radio just isn't strong enough and you can expect about 3/10ths of a mile at best. Even so with the Rino Garmin did a quality job. WELL WORTH THE PRICE!!

I am presently stationed in Iraq and our unit purchased dozens of the Rinos. My Rino has survived 145 degree temeratures, sand, grime water, and the other hardships that we find here and has never missed a beat. I feel good knowing I have it with me as we fly about the desolate terrain here. The accuracy is exceptional and it does an excellent job of tracking everyone operating another Rino. Yes, the radio is a bit weak, but if we rely on other systems for that. I can see no better value for the recreational GPS user than the Rino. If it's good enough for an Army aviation unit, I believe it's good enough for Joe Citizen out on the hiking trail. Can't wait to see what Garmin comes up with next (keep them ruggedized, pls!).
