Garmin Rino 655t

 

The Garmin Rino 655t GPS with two way radio updates the Rino 530HCx with a touch screen interface, preloaded100k scale topo maps, triaxial compass and 5MP geotagging camera. In addition, the 655t gets the other goodies common to recent Garmin...

Before wrapping up, how about a few more screenshots? That's the altimeter screen, above at right. Below, left to right, we have the trip computer with the recreational dashboard option enabled, one of the main menu screens, and the compass screen with...

Advanced technology, easy to use

 

I actually don't have a 655t, just the Rino 110. My dad has the 655t and I hunted with him this past week. The capability to see the locations of other Rino users was the attraction to these products. My dad's 655t tracked my positions throughout the...

Really great device

 

I got this radio/GPS for mountaineering trips. Already took it up the Grand Teton where it came in very handy. The ability to up the radio to 5w actually came in handy. But you do need an FCC license to broadcast on 5w which I have.The GPS is very...

did not work well

 

I dropped my Rino 530Hcx too many times, I'm really not all that gentle with my equipment. I thought I'd upgrade but was disappointed overall. I do a lot of fishing and occasional hiking around Juneau, Alaska, plus I like to take a gps unit with me...

Has anyone had this problem, the 655T not "accepting" contacts from the 530HCX

 

My friend got the 655T, and I still have the 530HCX. When he talks, he pops up on my gps (I click ok, and he is one of my contacts.... just like normal) But when I talk, he hears me on his radio, but I dont pop up as a contact. AND, Yes, I to have...

Buyer Beware - Delicate Toy

 

I bought the Garmin Rino 655T on Oct 16th, it arrived on Oct 19th (Amazon is fast!). I went hiking with it on November 13th. I attached it to the shoulder strap on my light weight day pack using the carabiner that came with it. After arriving at my...

Awesome GPS unit

 

This by far is the best GPS unit I have seen to date. It works very well in heavier cover where other units drop the signal. Many awesome features that are well worth the price.

Great Product, Terrible Implementation by Garmin

 

Consumer review by:

good product, bad marketing

 

I recently bought a Garmin 650 and was quickly disappointed. I was told and the literature verified that the new 650 had all the old features of the 530HCX or 530 plus additional features. One of the main reasons I purchased this product was that it...
