Thread: Garmin rhino info wanted

650 I bought 2. I thought it was just Christchurch but must be everywhere

Not sure if you guys have worked this one out but if you go into your contacts, click poll location on screen it seems to force update there location to you so they don't actually need to push button on side

Choice. Thanks for that

Dont forget you cant run 5w on aa's only on the li ion pack.

My biggest gripe

Chris

Interesting, where do you guys buy the aa battery packs?

There 's an online Garmin GPS guy in chch. I bought the battery pack and 12v supply from him. Great service and prices. Haven't got his card w me but I'd recommend him

I would say that's him. Seems a good guy to deal with

Can you please tell me which exact model Rino you have and the exact process to get poll your mates LATEST position. dont have one myself, but mate has a pair and insists that the process as you describe it above will not work on his pair. Just trying to figure if they could be faulty or user error. Cheers.
Feel free to PM me @PerazziSC3

No worries pengy.
Turn on gps
Go to radio icon
Click the friend button (2nd in from the right at the bottom of screen)
Click on your mates name
Click poll location
It will come up with a message that *friend* position has been updated

Garmin rhino 650

Thanks.
I assume the 650 `s are all the same.

Must be. It certainly works on mine. Have tested it out quite a bit. Obviously both gps need to be turned on.

@Pengy also make sure he goes into
Radio icon
Settings button, 2nd in from the left at the bottom.
setup radio
allow polling
