Garmin Rino 650/750

Where's the best/cheapest place to buy a Garmin Rino 650/750?
And are they compatible with each other?

I just bought a rino 650 at cabalas for $479 plus tax

Yes, I saw they were on sale there.
Thanks

Probably won't see the 750's on sale for a while..

That 750 looks bad ass, 5 watt in Canada now..

 

[sodell24@hotmail.com]

Really, I thought they were still only 2watt for Canada.
If they allowing 5W now that's wicked.

 

[Merc63]

Nope I am wrong, Cabelas is advertising 5w on it, but legally only 2w in Canada. They must have copied txt from the usa site.

Not to hijack- but has anyone used any of the external mic/speakers set ups for the rhinos??

Purchased a few radios from Costco, strong range they said, we compared to the 750 this last week and coverage was the same if not better we had thought, battery was better on garman..Costco price was 90$ For three radios

What kind of radios were they?

Your not buying a rino for just its radio capability but its other features such as mapping, finding your buddies in the group, downloading closures and other maps. If your looking for just a two way radio this is one expensive radio.

Sounds like the Motorola 'talkabout' ones I bought for my kids for Christmas.

If you are buying these thinking they are anything like a Rhino, you will be very disappointed.
Don't be like Fred.

Is anyone using the 655T model Rino? Comes with preloaded TOPO maps versus no TOPO maps on the 650 or 750. Almost bought a Garmin 62s yet these Rino's sound like champs if your friends have them too.
Or is everyone using the preloaded base maps vs the TOPO's?

The 655 has the built in camera. Never heard of any reviews of it. Aside from having pre loaded maps which requires larger internal memory there are no other differences in the 650 vs 655T. The maps are US topo so most guys on this forum will not have a 655T.

I find the camera option to be a bit of a waste myself as there are much better options like InReach they could have stuffed in the new 750 vs a camera in the 755.
