Whether you are hiking, biking or just running around town you can keep track of all members in your party wirelessly using the RINO 650 Two-Way FRS/GMRS GPS Radio from Garmin. These two-way radios feature Global Positioning System technology built-in to transmit your position to other RINO units using the General Mobile Radio Service frequencies keeping you visible to friends and family even if you can't see each other. This unit features 30 channels of FRS and GMRS frequencies including 8 GMRS repeater channels which are easily selected using the 2.6" sunlight-readable touchscreen. With up to 5W of transmission power you can even communicate silently via unit to unit text messages without disturbing your surroundings. NOAA weather alerts warn you of impending storm systems and other weather related issues.

This unit utilizes both GPS and GLONASS satellites for quicker signal acquisition so you get a fix on your position approximately 20 times faster than GPS alone. The receiver also can interpret Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) signals so you can receive information from terrestrial antennas even when your view of the sky is obstructed. The WAAS system also provides greater position accuracy overall. Adding to the GPS technologies, this device also features HotFix satellite prediction which uses an algorithm to mimic the movement of the Earth. This technology allows the receiver to quickly regain satellite connection after a couple days of non-use eliminating long initialization times. A worldwide basemap is stored on the unit's internal memory so you will always have an idea of where you are.

The unit's built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass shows your heading even while standing still, no matter how it is positioned. It also houses a barometric altimeter which tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude so you will know your distance from sea level. The altimeter also lets you plot barometric pressure over time which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions.

You can wirelessly share your data and images using the built-in ANT+ connectivity. Exchange photos, geocaches, adventures, routes and custom maps between Rino devices. Store up to 2000 waypoints on the receiver's built-in memory as well as 10,000 points and 200 saved tracks. A micro SD card slot lets you load TOPO 24K maps for hiking, Trailhead Series TOPO maps for famous trails, BlueChart g2 charts for boating, or City Navigator NT maps data for turn-by-turn routing on roads. A lithium-ion battery pack and charger are included.
