GPS advice?

wildcard28 · Jan 12, 2014

Hello Im new to gps for sledding and was wanting to know how good the Garmin 120 rino was for backtracking and setting favorite spots or way points will these be saved for future use?

how many watts transmit power does the 120 have?

Can you download a better map or satellite overlay on them?

Will the 120 link your position to a 530 or 650?

I have been wanting the 650 buy definetly expensive, so I know its a big cost between the 2 just tying to decide which one to get

my riding buddy doesn`t have a rino but I was wanting one so if I got out with another group that had them I would beable to see where they are or visa versa.

we use cobra walkie talkies now but I would like to branch more to a gps unit was also thinkin of starting out with a garmin etrex 2 since most I ride with don`t have rino`s

What do you all think?

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated..

Thanks, Wildcard

I have the 650 and never use the Camera or radio. Still use the old 2 way radio as it attaches to the backpack front strap. I would next time buy a GPS with larger screen

Hello byeatts, what radio`s do you use?

and what gps would you get that doesn`t have a radio?

I,m not sharp on these, the 650 just has small screen, I would go bigger and i use 5 mile Motorola. there are many larger screens at cabelas and cheaper.
