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.
Rinos transmit a user's position through the FRS spectrum. The
seven voice-only GMRS channels are dedicated to vocal communication
only. Position information can be transmitted to any other Rino
user within a two-mile range.
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. Locations are updated every second, and you can transmit
your location to others once every 10 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.
