GMRS channels are now permitted in Canada for public use. A software update from Garmin is available to allow use of the GMRS channels with the Canadian units. Please visit Garmin Software Updates. Please contact Map Town Ltd. for more information.
The Garmin Rino 120 handheld GPS unit is state-of-the-art GPS navigation and two-way communications combined, with enough memory to download detailed mapping for driving, hiking, hunting, fishing — or just about anything else you can dream up.
It's waterproof and can "beam" your exact location to another Rino GPS user within a two-mile range (on the FRS spectrum) using "Position Reporting". The radio functionality of the Garmin Rino 120 GPS provides two-way communications for up to two miles (using FRS channels), and you can talk to friends or family who own conventional FRS radios. There's also a voice scrambler and a vibration mode for silent calls.
The Garmin Rino 120 GPS unit has a built-in basemap consisting of American road and highway detail, along with 8 MB of internal memory for downloading additional road, street, and points-of-interest data from MapSource™ MetroGuide™, Fishing Hot Spots™, Topo, or BlueChart™ CD-ROMs. The PC-interface cable also comes with the Garmin Rino 120 handheld GPS.

*Denotes Limitations:
Some Garmin units may only access limited features when used with certain MapSource products. Limited capability may mean that a unit may be able to draw all the map features from the MapSource software, such as roads, lakes, nav-aids, depth contours, wrecks, etc., but the interactive capability of the maps may be limited. For example, you may not be able to "find nearest marinas" or look up additional text about a specific mapping feature.
