RINO (Radio Integrated with Navigation for the Outdoors) combines a powerful two-way radio with a WAAS-enabled GPS receiver. RINO units provide two-way radio communication with a transmission range of up to 2 miles using FRS channels and up to 5 miles with GMRS. Features such as Peer-to-Peer Positioning allow a user to "beam" their exact location to another Rino user within a two-mile range using the FRS spectrum, while the RINO's polling feature will allow a user to manually request GPS location information from other Rino units.

Inspired by the distinctive offset FRS and GPS antennas that give the devices their Rhinoceros-like appearance, GARMIN designed the Rino series as powerful, robust Radios Integrated with Navigation for the Outdoors. They are also the only waterproof two-way radios on the market.

The Rino boasts GARMIN’s traditional tough, lightweight, waterproof design to handle the rigors of any outdoor adventure. And because the Rino has standard FRS capabilities, you can talk to friends or family who own conventional FRS radios.

The olive-colored Rino 120 takes all the features of the Rino 110 and adds a basemap of North and South America that includes major cities, highways, thoroughfares, rivers, lakes, coastlines, state and national borders, and railways. The Rino 120 has eight megabytes of internal memory for downloadable cartography from GARMIN’s exclusive line of MapSource CD-ROMs – providing topographic, bathymetric, and street-level map information. It also incorporates a voice scrambler for secure communications and a vibration mode for "silent" calls from other Rino users.
