  1. Anyone have trouble with the roads and rec cd? To be more specific when a map is loaded my pointer is off of the road to the east and south. I have the lock on road feature on. HOTPHOOT
  2. I had the same problem with my 110- _________________________________________________ I just bought the rino120, went through the manual and for the life of me I cannot find where you set the date. It stays at 19-aug-22. firmware bug?? __________________________________________________ My dealer contacted Garmin and they gave us several things to try short of stand on your head, hold your mouth like this, etc.. Kidding, they were very helpful, however their fixes did not work. I ended up sending it back for a new one and while I was at it I upgraded to a second 120 unit. I have a feeling that if when you initially turn it on if you are indoors and it can't lock on to a satelite (initially) then this might happen. Just a hunch HOTPHOOT
  3. Hello all. I have been reading all of this stuff about the RINO's and enjoyed it all. I bought a pair of 120's and absolutely love them. If Garmin keeps posting updates on their web site soon they will be flawless. I think that they are making an effort to make the FRS better. As far as accuracy goes it has been putting me to within a few feet each time. Heres my question to you folks; I bought the Roads and Rec CD, downloaded some areas and put it to use. I was disapointed that my pointer was not on the roads even with the "lock on road" activated. can anyone help me or am I just asking to much of my unit? HOTPHOOT
  4. Sorry to waste your time, I think I found where to accomplish this task. In the member profile area. Please excuse this newbie. HOTPHOOT
  5. I know that this question has probably been asked a million times, but how do you get a photo with your log in name. I thought that I was kind of savy with this stuff but can't figure this one out. Is it right under my nose? Thanks, HOTPHOOT
  6. Alot has been said here about these units, good and bad. My opinion may not be that valid due to this is the first GPS that I have personally owned, however I have spent a fair amount of time researching and playing with other GPS units. To get aquainted with our units (2 of) we have been playing a type of GPS tag out in our 40 acre almond orchard (we also venture out in the neighbors orchards as well). So far we have tested up to about a 1 mile range with no complications. Flawless on the peer-to-peer and next to flawless with the FRS radio. My 11 year old son likes to start talking before or right when he begins speaking. When using the radio one must use a slower speaking speed and use clear text communication. The real test will be in the mountains while backpacking. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas to all! Hotphoot
