• Excellent
  Directly from Amazon is the way to order. I received my Rino within a matter of days. I would have no problem purchasing from Amazon again.

• Not sure about this unit !
  I thought this is what I wanted, now I'm not so sure.
  I bought it for a few reasons;
  I sail and wanted to be able to call for help if I needed to but there is no chanel 16 (help channel)on this unit.

• Glorified Walkie-Talkie - get a newer model
  This item is simply a walkie-talkie that locates others of its own kind and shows you your position relating to dots (waypoints). No maps. No elevation graphics. Not even roads.

• Good product but not really waterproof
  I used the Rino attached to my harness when windsurfing. This allows me to both stay in contact with a buddy and see what speeds I reached. It works very well and the interface is easy to master.
