i am looking to buy a gps, and i personally like the garmin rino 120, (my uncle owns one and i like the feel of it) Can anyone tell me whether or not this is a good gps? thx

Everyone I know who owns a Rhino likes theirs.

 

For what it's worth I have or have owned a:

 

Garmin eTrex Yellow

Garmin Legend

Palm/Garnin Ique

Magellan Meridian

Magellan Meridian Gold

Magellan Meridian Platinum

Laptop with Delorme Earthmate

Garmin 60CSx

 

I found several hundred with each, over a thousand with the Meridian Platinum, my previous favorite (except the Ique, with which I found maybe 20 caches and returned it - totally unsuitable for geocaching).

 

I have had the 60CSx for almost three months, found a couple hundred caches with it, and I would throw rocks at every other GPS I owned previously! The 60CSx has enough features that I have for the most part quit taking my laptop in the truck.

 

Hope that helps, even if it's not a direct answer.

 

Edit to add: Had a Sportrak, too, didn't care for it either, took it back after one weekend and 20 or so caches.

If you post this in the GPS Unit and Software Forum your sure to get more and varied responses.

I don't recall hearing many complaints (if any) about the Rino. One question though, do you need the built in radio? If you don't, for the price of a Rino, you could get a GPS with a lot more useful features for about the same price. If you want/need the built in radio, then go for it.
