Garmin Rino

[WhistlerGeo]

Has anyone here used the Garmin Rino 110 and 120 for Geocaching? The 530HCx model has a geocaching mode and plenty of other handy features but I would love to hear your Rino 110 and 120 thoughts and stories.

I have a rino 110. It recently began having problems with the display. Any small amount of jostling or vibration would cause the screen to go black. I would have to hit it to bring it back. Very annoying.

 

So, I bought a 530 HCx to replace it. I absolutely love this GPSr. I read the thread here in the forums and it convinced me that I would love it. I'm still learning how to use all the features but it locks on quickly and doesn't loose signal when my husband's garmin looses signal.

I have a Rino 110 (2 actually) I used it for geocaching at Disneyland when I went on a trip there recently. Worked well, not spectacular though. I have never used the standard yellow etrex, but imaging it works just as well as that. Just as the 530 Hcx will probably work as well as a 60Csx for caching.

I just received an order of 5x 520HCx's and 1x 530HCx and have basically retired my Magellan eXplorist 500. These Garmin units are great!

 

I was really debating on whether or not the 110-130 were worth the purchase (the cost was cheap), but after using the 520/520HCx series, I can see that they are on two separate playing fields now.
