Rino 130
2-Way FRS/GMRS Radio with GPS

by Garmin

The Rino 130 is a GPS-enabled handheld that integrates radio functionality to provide two-way communications.

The Rino 130 has a built-in electronic compass, barometric sensor, weather receiver for seven NOAA weather channels, and 24 MBs of internal memory. This handheld radio has a built-in electronic compass to give a heading while the user is standing still, and a barometric altimeter to provide extremely accurate elevation and pressure information, which will assist users in identifying weather data.

The Rino 130 provides two-way radio communication with a transmission range of up to two miles using FRS channels and up to five miles with GMRS. The integration of two-way radio and GPS enables users to transmit their position with a simple button press, allowing others to navigate to their position. The Rino 130 also has a polling feature, which allows a user to manually request GPS location information from other Rino units. More on How It Works.

The Rino 130 offers a detailed basemap of North and South America, displaying cities, highways, railways, rivers and lakes, and borders. And because of the unit’s robust internal memory, it can store map data from a variety of Garmin MapSource® CD products, including U.S. Topo 24K™, U.S. Topo™, Recreational Lakes™, BlueChart®, and MetroGuide.

Position Reporting...

The Rino's exclusive position reporting feature allows you to send and receive GPS positions from other Rino users so you can keep track of your friends on skiing or camping trips, sporting events, and other outdoor adventures. Position information can be transmitted to any other Rino user within a two-mile range on FRS channels and within a five-mile range on GMRS channels.

How it works
Position reporting can be activated using either the "call" or "talk" keys. When the "call" key is released, it activates the Position Reporting function , sending your current GPS location to other Rinos. When the call is received by another Rino, the New Contact page is displayed showing the ID, direction, and distance of the sender. The sender's position is also displayed on the receiving unit's map page. Your position is updated every second, and you can transmit your location to others once every 30 seconds. This could be a life-saving feature in an outdoor emergency —or it could be used simply for rounding up the family at an amusement park or outdoor resort.

Note...
The FCC has granted Garmin a waiver that will allow the Rino series units to send position data on GMRS channels. In addition, Industry Canada has established a license-free GMRS service. Canadian Rino units will now allow users access to GMRS channels. Position sending/polling will also be allowed on Canadian GMRS channels. These new capabilities are available with a simple software update obtained free of charge from the Garmin Web site.
