RINO - Radio Integrated Navigation Outdoors


The Rino 120 is state-of-the-art GPS navigation and two-way communications combined, with enough memory to download detailed mapping for driving, hiking, hunting, fishing—or just about anything else you can dream up.
It's waterproof and can "beam" your exact location to another Rino user within a two-mile range (on the FRS spectrum) using "Position Reporting". The radio functionality of the Rino 120 provides two-way communications for up to two miles (using FRS channels), and you can talk to friends or family who own conventional FRS radios. There's also a voice scrambler and a vibration mode for silent calls.


The Rino 120 has a built-in basemap consisting of American road and highway detail, along with 8 MB of internal memory for downloading additional road, street, and points-of-interest data from MapSource Metro Guide, Fishing Hot Spots, Topo, or Blue Chart CD-ROMs. The PC-interface cable also comes with the Rino 120.



  • WAAS-enabled GPS receiver
  • 22 communication channels: 1-14 FRS, 15-22 GMRS
  • 38 sub-audible squelch codes per transmission channel for semi-private radio communications
  • Transmit distance: up to 2 miles using FRS, up to 5 miles with GMRS
  • External voice activation (VOX)
  • Ergonomic design for one-handed operation, with Call, Press-To-Talk (PTT), and Page mode buttons on the side, Power/Backlighting button on top, and Volume and Zoom buttons in front
  • Unique 5-way cursor for channel selection and volume adjustment in FRS/GMRS mode, and quick map panning, entering, and selecting functions in GPS mode
  • Voice scrambler and vibration mode for silent calls
  • Built in basemap consisting of American road and highway detail, along with 8 MB of internal memory for additional road, lake, marine, and points-of-interest data that can be downloaded from MapSource Metro Guide, Fishing Hot Spots, Topo, or Blue Chart CDs

    Great GPS; Lousy Radio

    By peteskalla  Sep 23, 2003 | 6 out of 6 found this Garmin Rino 120 review helpful

    Pros: GPS "position reporting" feature works well and is wonderful for use in hiking and hunting with friends

    Cons: Voice communication is poor. Customer support is poor.

    Buy the Rino for a great GPS that communicates position with other Rinos. Don't buy it for its voice communication capability, which really does stink. In the field I carry a Rino for GPS and position reporting functionality and a Cobra GMRS ra...dio for voice communications. The position reporting seems to have a range of about a mile. It's not clear to me why position reporting works at this range while voice communication is muffled at 100 yards and cuts out entirely at about 1/2 mile line of sight even on GMRS channels. Customer support is poor; Garmin Tech Support hasn't responded to the couple of e-mail inquiries I've made.Despite the half-baked radio Garmin crammed into the Rino, I buy them again based on the great position reporting feature.SUGGESTIONS FOR GARMIN: Fix the voice problem; add a 'polling' feature so I can request someone else's position (Rinos only transmit position when the user presses the 'talk' button; lobby the FCC to allow position reporting to utilize the longer-range GMRS channels.

    Won't go out in the woods with out it.

    Pros: Radio & GPS w/Mapping that can transmit your position to your friends automatically

    Cons: None really. The GPS has a lot of features that I don't use...making it a touch complicated.

    Having a single device instead of two (GPS & Radio) is very handy. If your friends have Rinos, all you have to do is key up your radio and your coordinates are automatically transmitted to them. As a GPS: Full featured with maps and adequate memory.... Has many features that I don't use, but so do most GPS units. It acquires satellites and locates its position very quickly...as quick as any GPS I've used (8 different models that I can think of from Garmin, Magellan, Lowrance). As a Radio: Works fine and simple to use. There are probably better dedicated radios out there. I know there are worse also. I like that it uses AA batteries (3). When used as a GPS and radio at the same time it will go through a set in one full day of hunting. If you shut off the radio and just use it as a GPS it will go several days. If you just use it as a radio, it will go even longer. I highly recommend that you and your friends all buy Rinos Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Garmin Rino 120

  • PC World

    Find the Way With GPS

    Navigation devices keep you on track on unfamiliar ground.Orbiting roughly 11,000 miles above the earth, the 24 satellites of the Global Positioning System are perhaps the most important navigational tools created since the invention of the compass. With a clear line of sight to at least three satellites, any modern GPS receiver can calculate your location anywhere on the planet with extreme accuracy, 24 hours a day, rain or shine. Read more
