Comments about Garmin Rino 650 GPS/2-Way Radio:
This is a great product, just as good as the Garmin 60 CSX. What's better is it obtains reception quicker, it's a radio, and believe it or not, the touch screen is easier to use, than the 60 CSX buttons.
My group had different Rino models, two people had 610's, one had the older 530 Rino, and one also had the 650. All worked in-sync with one another, and gave accurate locations, as well as radio seemed to work fairly well.
The battery life is good, I would have it on all day, and it would use about 30% power from battery. That was GPS and radio usage, and occasional back light for the early mornings, and late evenings.
If you ever hike with a gps, and have had an occasion to use a radio, with others. This is a must!!! Granted the other has to have a Rino too. If you ALWAYS hike alone, and have the 60 csx. Then I would stick with that. Although this has much more memory.
It feels great in the hand, and easily used with a glove on. I used it for two weeks in a row, everyday, and I think it was a great purchase.

Comments about Garmin Rino 650 GPS/2-Way Radio:
The Garmin Radios series has been a reliable and cutting edge technology for years. The new 600 series is an excellent improvement over the 500 series. I had two 500 series that were reliable and cutting edge. You can see on your GPS map where your buddies are. Individual locations are updated when transmitting. The GPS is excellent as well. I have gotten GPS signal when my friends handhelds are still searching or are not receiving anything due to tree cover. The lion batteries last 10 hours. You have the versatility of using nicad if you need to. The 600 series keeps transmitting at 5 watts- unlike the 500 series which reduced the wattage to .5 on nicad. If you know that you get what you pay for, you will not regret this purchase.
