- 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.
