BigSarge101 gives a user’s overview of the Rhino 120. Here are the cost details of the map overlays mentioned: the maps are 116.95 each and they have water map, east west north etc… maps all 116.95 each. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions at all.
@BigSarge101 Thank you very much! I appreciate your help. I have invested in an EPIRB beacon, but I figure that’s getting a little dramatic (and expensive?) if more local help can be obtain for lesser emergencies. I’m generally alone with my dogs, so this will help. I’ve ordered the 120, and thank your for the video!
@CaptainMacNasty transmitting voice others will hear you, if they have a CB or handheld and are in range, also if another GPS is in range and you are broadcasting your location you can change your display name to “HELP” or something along those lines and if they look they will see you on the map..
@CaptainMacNasty OK, well here is my experience, you can broadcast all GMRS and FRS channels, as well as receive transmissions, before I left for Iraq I was hiking up Carr Canyon in AZ, there was a large fire in the mountains and while I was up there I could see on the gps another group who was not related but broadcasting their location and also I was hearing all transmissions from the Forestry Helos as they were dropping water and picking it up, so Yes, if you transmit your location and or
…i meant to type hiking alone and have an emergency and need to call for help! (I left out that little detail.)
Q: If a person is hiking alone, are these GPS radios still useful to scan for and then contact others in the area who may be using communication devices? All the videos discuss hiking “with your buddies” who carry an identical GPS radio, but what if you are hiking alone? Or do these not pick up other devices or signals…just in case? Thanks in advance for a reply.
@youngdickinsonharris probably not, but it is safer than texting.
lol should you be driving and shooting a review at the same time?
Thanks for the review. I’m actually doing some homework on GPS +Radio’s for our paintball team. This is probably the best review for the Rhino 110/120 yet!
Hi, PM sent, but for others here is the skinny: “sure, it brings up a keyboard and you use the joystick and pick each letter (thump joystick/ mouse thing) and you select each letter to create the word and or number combo and then you select ok…”
thank you for the review!
there was not much I could get out of the written descriptions on amazon and such.
I guess the only thing you probably didn’t cover that I did see a screen shot of is the ‘text’ capability.. being that it had no keyboard how does it work? is it voice to text?
