Garmin Rino 130

The Garmin Rino 130 GPS adds a built-in electronic compass, barometric altimeter, weather receiver for seven NOAA weather channels, and 24 MB of internal memory to its already impressive capabilities. This handheld GPS unit has a built in two-way radio that transmits with 5 watts of power, for 5 miles of range over GMRS frequencies and 2 miles over FRS. The Rino 130's combined communication and navigation allows you to send and receive location information from other capable units with the press of a button, and the polling feature comes in handy when you want to find your friends. Once you've tracked them down, use the barometric altimeter to find out how high up you are, or let them know if the NOAA storm warning feature has alerted you. Download any of the hundreds of available MapSource topo, marine, street, and point-of-interest maps depending on where your next adventure takes you.

Bottom Line: The Rino 130's plethora of features makes it the Swiss army knife of the GPS world.

Can you down load trails on this? I'm going to start backpacking

Can you down load trails on this? I'm going to start backpacking the AT this year.

Yes. It has 24Mb of memory which is all you need for a typical 50 mile trip (you need to purchase Garmins Topo software however). If you want the whole AT downloaded, you might consider the Vista HCx that has removable microSD cards. The Rhino does offer 2-way radio capability which will allow some communication, but the AT is well traveled which mean you might not need it. The Rhino 130 also has a gray scale screen that's harder to see in direct sunlight and when viewing certain downloaded topo maps. The other issue I have with it is that it's fairly heavy. One of the most important things to consider when doing a thru-hike is weight. I would consider a lighter alternative like the Garmin Vista HCx, Legend HCx or standard Vista/Legend.

This Rhino is packed with features! In addition to everything the 110 and 120 have, the 130 also boasts: 1) a built-in electronic compass. Handy for when you're not moving to orient yourself for the next leg of your route.
