Took it out with my wife horse riding. After we were maybe two miles away from each other, couldn't communicate, so the distance they claim as a two-way radio is definitely not as advertised. Downloaded maps after spending two hours on the phone to Garmin. Their Customer Service leaves something greater to be desired. from Walmart.com He was trying to make it back to the 4 wheelers but instead got stuck in the blizzard. He was 4 miles from my location. As we both carry the rino 120 but his screen froze with ice and could not see due to the freezing temp and he was panicing from being lost at night. He began to freeze because of the -25 weather. from Walmart.com The GPS has a lot of features that I don't use...making it a touch complicated. Having a single device instead of two (GPS & Radio) is very handy. If your friends have Rinos, all you have to do is key up your radio and your coordinates are automatically transmitted to them. As a GPS: Full featured with maps and adequate memory. from Yahoo.com The Rino 120 allows you, at an affordable price to know where you are in the world, where your buddies are as well and to have on-going conversation. The unit performs as advertised. from Amazon.com I hunt with friends. The Rino 120 allows me to not only talk with my hunting friends, but I know where they are for safety. Keep adding more accessories for the 120 . from Amazon.com I love it for GEOCACHING and my 7 year old grandson can use it. There are Icons for special places in the GPS marking menu. This is my second Garmin Rino; the other is a Rino 130. The only draw back is the monochrome display can be difficult in low level light for us seasoned citizens. from Amazon.com I officially used my Garmin Rino 120 for the first time a couple of days ago and it was so handy. My team needed to mark an area so we could return to it later, they were really impressed with that feature. from Amazon.com Great GPS/FRS radio combination. Screen may be hard to view in some light conditions. Great way to see location of other 120 users in your group. from Amazon.com I bought one of the first ones on the market, took it to Afghanistan twice and it broke on the last day when the belt clip snapped in the cold and it fell hard on a concrete flight line. Garmin gave me a new one under warranty, my fault and was willing to pay but they insisted I get a new one. Thank you Garmin, and why I will continue to buy many of these. from Amazon.com I own a Rino 520 with optional software. I bought the Rino 120 for my elderly Dad who's not so into the high-techie stuff. from Amazon.com
