A Handy Travel Partner
No matter where your outdoor activities take you, the Rino 530 keeps you on track and in touch. Similar to the 520, this rugged, two-way radio with GPS packs a bold color display, 14-mile communication range, and turn-by-turn directions, giving you peace of mind in the great outdoors. Taking it a step further, the Rino 530 adds and electronic compass, barometric altimeter, and NOAA weather receiver, making it a favorite with hikers and climbers. Exclusive position-reporting ability and a host of other features make the 530 one of the best all-in-one two-way radio and GPS receivers around. As with other members of the Rino family, the 530's patented location-reporting feature allows you to send and receive GPS positions with other Rino users in your group. One call to your partner's Rino, and your location shows up on the map page. You can even poll another Rino's user's location in emergency situations.
Keep In Touch With Family and Friends
The Rino 530 delivers a whopping 5 watts of transmit power (GMRS), which means you can now call for help from 14 miles away (transmit power limited to 2 watts in Canada with a range up to 8 miles). Its bold TFT display makes it easy to see and navigate to family or friends with Rinos at an amusement park, lake, or other outdoor group activity. Automatic route generation, off-route recalculation, turn-by-turn directions with alert tones, and icon-driven menus for finding points of interest (when combined with Garmin's optional MapSource City Select software) navigate you safely to your next outdoor adventure. A mini USB connection and 56 megabytes of internal memory make for rapid download of lots of map storage of Garmin's entire line of outdoor cartography. The Rino 530 features a rechargeable internal lithium-ion battery that provides up to 16 hours of outdoor use.
More Attractive Features
In addition to the great features listed above, the Rino 530 also includes a few capabilities that make it a real stand-out. A barometric altimeter provides extremely accurate elevation for hikers and climbers. There's an electronic compass so you can get a heading when you're standing still. Finally, the Rino 530's NOAA weather capability keeps you informed of changes in the weather.

When combined with Garmin's optional City Select software, it provides automatic route generation, off-route recalculation, turn-by-turn directions with alert tones, and icon-driven menus for finding points of interest.

Water is Your Friend
The Rino 530 GPS unit is waterproof in accordance with IEC 60529 IPX7. IEC 60529 is a European system of test specification standards for classifying the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures of electrical equipment. An IPX7 designation means the GPS case can withstand accidental immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. What all of this fancy language means to you is that you don't have to worry if you accidentally drop the Rino 530 into a creek or lake. If it's not too deep, and you find it quickly, there should be no damage to the unit.
