“Whether you’re a hunter looking for peace of mind in the woods, a ski patroller monitoring conditions in the Rockies or simply want to enjoy the outdoors with the benefit of radio communication and GPS, the new Garmin Rino GPS handhelds have what you need,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of Garmin sales. “Having the ability to know where someone is in your hunting group at all times and to communicate freely with them provides a new level of safety only found from Garmin Rino.”
Garmin Rino GPS features
Garmin Rino’s unique GPS position reporting capability lets you send your exact location to other Garmin Rino GPS users so they can see it on their map page. And after pairing for the first time you will be able to see your friends even in situations where they cannot call for help or tell you their position. You can also send unit-to-unit text messages to other Garmin Rino GPS users in your area - it’s ideal for loud or windy conditions, or just when you don’t want to disturb the wildlife. Gone are the days of missing a note as Garmin Rino GPS timestamps and records the notes you receive from contacts for later review or forwarding. The Garmin Rino GPS handheld can be useful in an emergency, or just a handy way to keep tabs on your hunting party, hiking partner, or family.

For added safety, Garmin Rino 650 and Rino 655t GPS systems feature a built-in NOAA weather radio that can help you avoid hazardous weather. The radio supports Specific Area Message Encoding, which allows you to see National Weather Service warnings and watches displayed county-by-county on the map screen so you can stay informed at a glance when you need to be in the know. The Garmin Rino 650 and garmin Rino 655t GPS handhelds are powered by a removable and rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack lasting up to 14 hours or up to 18 hours with the optional AA battery pack.
Garmin Rino GPS systems
Each Garmin GPS handheld in the Rino series has a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with HotFix, which automatically calculates and stores critical satellite information and can use that information to quickly calculate a position so you can spend more time active and less time waiting. And with multiple profiles like Marine, Recreational and Automotive to name a few, Garmin Rino GPS can be customized to match whatever activity you might be performing. |
