- Position Reporting
The Rino's exclusive position
reporting feature allows you to send and receive
GPS positions from other Rino® users so you can
keep track of your friends on skiing or camping
trips, sporting events, and other outdoor
adventures. Position information can be
transmitted to any other Rino user within a
two-mile range on FRS channels and within a
five-mile range on GMRS channels.
The image to the right shows
an example of four people keeping track of each
other's positions using a Rino 110.
How it works
 |
 |
Position reporting can be
activated using either the "call" or
"talk" keys. When the "call" key is
released, it activates the
Position Reporting function,
sending your current GPS location to
other Rinos. |
 |
 |
When the call is received
by another Rino, the New Contact
page is displayed showing the
ID, direction, and distance of the
sender. The sender's position is also
displayed on the receiving unit's
map page. Your position
is updated every second, and you can
transmit your location to others once
every 30 seconds
This could be a
life-saving feature in an outdoor
emergency — or it could be used simply
for rounding up the family at an
amusement park or outdoor resort. |
