"NOT Waterproof" 2009-07-23
By Mark Pinzon (Rowayton, CT)
Used the unit once! I have 3 Garmin Products, two Vehicle GPS and one Personal Wrist Watch GPS, Have always been happy with the company until now. Purchased the unit and went out Kayaking once with it, conditions were windy to calm with some splashing water. When I went to change the batteries I discovered that Water got into the battery compartment, shocked because the unit is advertised as waterproof but should not be too shocked after seeing the thin seal on the compartment. Called Garmin expecting excellent support, as I said I own multiple Garmin Products and have been pleased until now. I was told by the Tech support people that although it is rated waterproof it is only is it is "standing" water and up to 1 meter. Apparently splashing water can be forced into the back and damage the unit. IT WAS NOT COVERED by warranty and was told to get a return from the retailer. Extremely dissatisfied customer and will think twice when buying another Garmin product.

"Great Gadget" 2007-03-30
By D. Leeds (Manhattan, KS USA)
I have had this for a year now and it works great. Matches ACU color. I would buy the 430 or 420 with the color screen but I don't need the color screen. I haven't downloaded any new base maps but I intend to do so at some point before a deployment. If you want a cheap GPS to give you MGRS grids, purchase the Foretrex not Forerunner. The Forerunner is only for lon/lat. So unless you are a flyboy and you want a cheaper, smaller unit get the Garmin Foretrex. I would like to get another unit that has an MMC slot, currently the only ones that have that are the E-Trex and some other models.
Overall it is a great item.
"Well designed, mission-ready unit" 2006-08-01
By F. Anderson (Metro Detroit, Michigan)
After reading all of the online reviews here on Amazon, and on the manufacturer's web site, I decided to purchase the units and judge for myself. I had been planning a trip to the Michigan sand dunes, and thought it would be nice for safety to have at least two units in case any member of my family got lost, or seperated during the trip.
Within the first few hours of using the units, we learned a few of it's idiosyncrocies. One thing you have to know is that the units must have time to "locate" at least 4 satellites before it will accurately report location info. The time required can vary, depending on the environment. Terrain with buildings, or other barriers, natural or otherwise, will increase the time required for the unit to "lock-in" satellites.
Once the unit's find the satellites needed for self-navigation, the unit works without much intervention. My 14 year-old son was able to learn how to use the tracking-navigation feature within a couple of hours of tickering with the unit.
Out in the field, my 14 year-old son made a miscalculation, and ended up in a chest-high pond of water, with him, his ATV, and the Garmin Rino 130 fully submerged for about 3 minutes. After the initial panic of making sure he was ok, and removing the water-logged ATV from the water, we immediately checked the Rino 130, and it was still working great. However, the external PTT microphone that is sold as an accessory did not survive the plunge.
The unit works so well, and is so simple to use, it can seem almost "toy-like" until you realize how much data it keeps track of at one time. Once I initiated the "tracking" feature for the other two units I purchased, it maintained location data for the duration of the trip, without any further manipulation. I was actually stunned by the simplicity of locating any of the units, even standing still. Although the compass feature works better when moving, it is still very accurate in a fixed location under the right conditions.
Overall, I would recommend this unit for anyone needing basic communication and GPS capability. The Radio was a bit under-powered in my opinion, but they were suitable for short distances in wooded areas. Near some metro areas, RF interference is definitely a problem, but that's no fault of the unit. Many of the people who have complained about this unit seem to either have received a defective unit, or don't like to read manuals.
