Rino also has the radio feature, and ability to locate a mate who is also using a Rino without having to talk to them - they show up on your map.
Both units use the same maps, so just threw the Micro SD card from one to the other, and away I went.

I have tried a Rino a couple of times, and it seems to me that the polling feature will only update your mates posi if he/she actively polls you. IE ,. uses the ptt button.
Was I doing something wrong or is this the case ? The Garmin advertising gumpth suggests you can use this feature to find a man down kind of thing.
