Got the rino 650. Use them for hunting and quadding around our lake lot near Edson and for sledding. Don't think there has been a cut line or trail that hasn't shown up on it

great, i found it showed pipelines, seismic trails that we were traveling on. liked it way better than the canada topo maps. way more info. how you like the rino 650, i almost bought one, as i like the radio and location capabilities. i lost my rino 530hcx in the snow in december, in 3 1/2 feet of snow. will take a look in the spring for it. i still have a rino 130 and a rino 530,
650 is ok. Screen is a little small. 4 of us have them so when we're sledding we can see where everyone is. The radios arnt to bad. Can get about
3-4km in the thick of the bush.

Will it work upsidedown in the mud with a quad and an old man on top of it?well i became the proud owner of a new montan 600, got lots of learning to do. looks like it will do the trick.
aquires a good signal inside the house, will be excellent in the bush with overgrown trees.

off hand i can't remember where i bought them, gps central i think. had the best price $119. then there was an update and think the maps went back to $150.
gps central or gps city should have the maps and will send out asap. i got the ab and bc backroads maps. from gps central.

Attached are 4 different JPG'S/PIX of the same area, all at 700 m's. All data was taken from the Canadian Gov. The ibycus Topo V2.1 is no longer available,Gov changed their system, the ibycus Topo V4, is currently available on the net,(free). The Garmin Canada Topo V4 is the current release from Garmin, and the BackroadGPS Maps is V2. I did not opp for the Latest Version. Unless you have the computer skills to copy the Backroad software, they are (LOCKED). One can copy the ibycus and the Garmin MapSource Software. Dale Atkin (ibycus) out of Calgary AB, asks if you copy his software you give him the credit and do not charge for it, and if you are not succesful in down loading ibycus V4 from Torrents you can order a copy from him for $25.00. I have the Backroad GPS MAPS V 2 for AB and BC. and when I upgraded from their V1 to V2, I also aquired AB/BC on the DVD for an adittional $25.00. To me, the Computer Software is just as important as the GPS Mapping, If not more as I can plan my trips without going out of the house. The Backroads people will be at the Edmonton Boat and Outdoor Show this month.
