Essential Military Tool
For the longest time, I resisted geting a GPS. Any soldier worth his stripes should be able to figure out his ground position to within 100m just by comparing the ground to his map, and maybe shooting a bearing with his compass.
But then I picked up a cheapie Garmin Etrex, and while it doesn't replace the map and terrain reading skills (by a long shot) the ability to generate an exact position fix at a moment's notice comes in very handy, especially when one is operating in an unfamil...

Nice Unit, Optional AA Battery Function would be nice
I recently purchased the 520 for backpacking and canoeing. I found it very easy to use, with screen navigation, track information and user interfaces being surprisingly intuitive. It took me about 10 hours of drive time, primarily to and from work, to master most of the features. The color map, while not a necessity in any manner, is also a nice feature, although I don't know if it is worth the money. I would imagine that the grayscale display would be more than adequate. The batter life is abso...

Still buggy after firmware upgrade
I purchased a Rino520 to use with a Rino530. Several times, the screen would blank out after pushing the "push to talk" (PTT) button when using the radio. The screen would recover after turning off the unit, however, it would blank out again after pushing the PTT button. In order to temporarily provide a more "long-term" solution, I had to disconnect the battery to power down the unit. After doing that, the screen would still blank out intermittently, but not with almost every push of the PT...

Love it! / hate it!
My Rino 520 is almost the most awesome electronic gadget I've ever purchased. The 2-way radio works great - better speaker sound and range than any other radio I've owned. Almost great GPS with the color screen and optional topo mapping. User friendly interface. Above all the location feature of a fellow user is the killer asset. If the unit worked perfectly I would highly recommend anyone to buy it. But I must add my agreement to previously mentioned issues:
My screen goes blank occa...
