GARMIN Rino 520 GPS Radio

No matter where your outdoor activities take you, the Rino 520 keeps you on track and in touch. This rugged, two-way radio with GPS packs a bold color display, 14-mile communication range, and turn-by-turn directions - giving you peace of mind in the great outdoors. Taking it a step further, the Rino 530 adds an electronic compass, barometric altimeter, and NOAA weather receiver, making it a favorite with hikers and climbers.

Exclusive position-reporting capability and a host of other unique features, make the 520 one of the best all-in-one two-way radio and GPS receivers around. As with other members of the Rino family, the 520`s patented location-reporting feature allows you to send and receive GPS positions with other Rino users in your group. One call to your partner`s Rino, and your location shows up on the map page. You can even poll another Rino user`s location in emergency situations.
