robotneil Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Is the Rhino 110 just a eTrex with a radio? I use to own an eTrex and just ordered the 110, won the bid on ebay for $94.00. If anyone has one of these, please voice your opinion to me. Thank You, Neil Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I can't speak to the 100 specifically, but in general the Rhino units have an FRS radio with one extra feature. You can broadcast your position. Therefore, if you are hiking/hunting/caching with other Rhino users, you can see them on your display, and vice versa. Quote Link to comment

Thats pretty cool, but what about the maps on them? I know the 110 only has a points of interest map. But what exactly does that show you? Just cities? Quote Link to comment

It depends on what map you choose, you can use all Garmin map, like Topo, City Selec, Bluechart. Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) Actually, the Rino 110 does not allow you to upload map data. To see the points of interest, take a look at the map viewer in the upper right corner of this page. Edited February 27, 2006 by Sputnik 57 Quote Link to comment
+Dgwphotos Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) I am considering the Rino 110 myself because it has a quad antenna. The Etrex series all have patch antennas. I notice that it is 10$ cheaper than the GPS 60 in Cabelas catalog even though it has a radio. It does not mention connectabity to a computer.

MagicTogether Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 We've used Rino 130's for several years. Similar to the Vista. More memory than the 110 & 120, plus has the electronic compass. We've been very happy with them overall. Quote Link to comment
+BBWolf+3Pigs Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The GPS60 has a bigger display with better resolution. The Rino takes 3 batteries, GPS60 only 2. GPS60 has built in waypoint averaging (useful when placing caches). I believe there is more customization of displays with the GPS60. There are more controls on the GPS60 so things are a bit easier to get to. And you can find a better price for the GPS60 if you shop around. MegaGPS.com has it for $150, and the 110 for $145. (I have a 60 & a friend has the 110) Quote Link to comment
