Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Garmin Rino 120 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. Your phone has a camera, so why shouldn't your handheld GPS unit have a two-way radio? The Rino series from Garmin revolutionizes backcountry adventure and safety with its unique location sending feature not only can you talk to other FRS radio users, you can actually beam your location to anyone using another Garmin Rino within a 2 mile radius. The Rino 120 has 8MB of internal memory, capable of storing any of the hundreds of marine, topo, street, and point-of-interest maps available online from MapSource, and a built-in basemap of American roads and highways to get you started. You'll be confident of your location with the 3-meter accuracy of the Rino's WAAS-enabled GPS no matter if you're in the city or deep in the woods. A signal-scrambler lets you keep your radio conversations private, the vibrate mode won't scare away the wildlife (or annoy your fellow hikers), and the waterproof housing survives the occasional dunk."

"Awesome, Awesome, Awesome product! I used it with great delight on my last trip into the woods. I was able to communicate via the radio with my non-RINO owning friends and using this piece of equipment is heaven on earth when it comes to the GPS aspect of the product. Get it now!"
