 gps radio review January 13, 2007
My husband loves his radio. He found the functions easy to learn and I really liked the price for the features that this model provides. I really like the fact that it is waterproof (dirtproof) so that regardless of where my spouse may tread with his radio it will still work.

My first unit had a defective radio and Garmin swapped it out and saved my waypoints. Suggest you buy ear bud w/ PTT mic. My hunting parties used them and it coordinated our hunts accurately especially sending waypoints. Bring batteries since 6hrs seems to be useable time. If money is not an issue buy 530 model since the radio power is 5 watt versus 1/2 watt and the togel switch is easier to use. Overall it made hunting with a group better.
Great product. BUT November 10, 2006

I have nothing but great things about the Garmin RINO 120. The Navigation is good to go. Some people complain about how much more work it is compared to a dedicated GPS model. Well, when you have to combine the radio and the GPS, there is bound to be some compromise somewhere. The radio feature is great. I got scambling security function, different beeps and tones for different parties, and the GPS location works with the radio.
My negative opinions is about the computer to unit cord.. It is a old style nine pin serial port, but the more expensive model have the USB to unit cord. Can't they just update the lineup so all of us have the newer connection. Another issue is the software.. All the new maps are not compatible with the RINO 120, but it is compatible with the new RINO 520. Yes, I know they still sell the software that is compatible with the RINO 120, but it isn't updated since 2000, and I would hate to find out the road is no longer there... That kind of thing...
So overall, it is a good product, just that it needs some updating...

I purchased the Rino 120 about a year ago. It has been on many trips with me. I have had it attached to my camel pack while mountain biking and hiking. It has been through several crashes on the bike with me. While Geocaching, I dropped it into a stream. I snatched it back up, and found it to be operating perfectly. I have had this on the outside of my pack during light to heavy rain, with no problems. I can do many trips on a set of batteries. I use it often when 4X4'ing with my Jeep. I'll preset coordinates for intersections or points of interest, and it keeps me right on. When Geocaching, it has always led me within a few feet of cache.
My only "gripe" would be that there is no connection for an external antenna. My screen has a "dark" patch on it...kind of like when you press on an LCD screen. It does not interfer with the view on the screen though.
Almost there ... October 19, 2005

The Rino 120 is VERY easy to use. It has many user-friendly options, and it does not require vast knowledge of global positioning. I did not give this product 5 stars because of the need to purchase additional detailed maps, and the only choice of them being US and Canadian maps (I live overseas and travel world-wide). I really enjoy the integrated 2-way communications capabilities -- it has enhanced the scope of my own employment performance.
