I have a Rino 120 and virtually never use it.
Heard of the phrase jack of all trades master of nothing? Thats describes the Rino series. Its a great idea but it needs a better radio, a better GPS and a better display.
That being said I've used it with Claymore (he has one too) in games where we needed to draw our forces together to have contacts. We purposely play on opposite teams and then create conflict situations and use the Rinos to coordinate where and when the contacts occur - both teams not knowing we're actually doing that - and it works out well. However for team coordination I find gridding the field and using paper based op maps and radios and just asking for a locstat is easier than trying to fiddle with the GPS. Half the time we can't get a signal with the Rinos because the radio part sucks so much - even after the GMRS firmware upgrade that supposedly unlocks 2 watts.
