ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME IS THE 5 WATT POWER OF THE RADIO. IT WORKS MUCH BETTER THAN LOWER POWERED, MORE COMMON, RADIOS. THE GPS WORKS WITH THE RADIO TO GIVE YOUR POSITION TO OTHERS WITH THE CAPABILITY AND THAT IS A GOOD SAFETY FEATURE.

I recently purchased 2 of these units. However you would think they would come with a charger like everything else does in the world. Certainly not the best deal around !! Just another 70 dollars just to get them to work.

We bought this unit to use for geocaching, We had an older unit (Rino 530) that we were having problems with and it is no longer available to be reconditioned. We like using the Rino's for their ability to send your location and use of the radio. This unit is not very "Geocache friendly". This newer style is not as user friendly as the older units, Garmin did not do a very good job with explaining things in the owners manual. We have had to call customer suport several times, I'm sure in time we will get it figured out. One nice feature this unit has is to have access to past cache logs and additional info that the previous units did not do. To my knowledge Garmin is the only mfg that makes units like the Rino, which are very handy if you are trying to keep track of everyone in your group. I use mine alot for bicycling in large groups/rides for the trip meter, polling other riders in my group and mapping my ride. I still have 520 hcx that works great, and can still be sent in to be reconditioned, I just hope that Garmin continues to refurbish the older units, they are MUCH easier to use........ but that is my opinion.Read full review
It takes practice to use this unit , as there a lot of items to set-up that a novice will not know about, but once you get over the hurdles , it can do so much, it will boggle your mind.

i live in Western Washington where the mountains and trees are big. having owned several gps devices in the past none of them were able to receive satellite while in a house or under a tree canopy, this device boots right up and gets a great signal even in a house with a tile roof. the only thing that would make this better if it had the same "where to / addresses" to allow you to navigate without the coordinate. i look forward to the other 4 devices i ordered to show up so we can begin working with the peer to peer capabilities. at this point, i am impressed with this device.
