[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 1972222, member: 111184"] The Garmin Rino séries communicate over the FRS/GMRS system which is a walkie talkie “Family Radio Service.” Hence, cell phone coverage is not necessary. My buddies and I use FRS radios to communicate, but hunting the forests and mountains limits their use. I believe that new Rino models will only come with the GMRS system, and there is a fee(s) to own and use FMRS communication devices. I like my 64ST because it is/has: User friendly A good display Is keyboard operated ( I sold my Garmin Montana 600 touchscreen because I would need to remove my gloves) the GLONASS satellite system increases satellite coverage. It communicates with my cellphone via Bluetooth to share maps, overlays The T stands for topographic ability. I generally turn this off when I’m backtracking, but I do use the topo feature to determine a hill’s steepness and what is on the other side of a hill. There should be reviews online of specific models for you to compare them. Plus, there are How to vidéos on YouTube. RR [/QUOTE]
