Range is still the same as the advertised range for the Rhino though .. Up to 5 miles in flat unobstructed terrain.<br><br>$649.99 WOW.. <br><br> The Rhino is already running on VHF frequencies, so I am thinking this is simply a Rhino that broadcasts for itself instead of having to be keyed up.
<br><br>The Tiraxial Compass looks sweet though. Many cachers fail to keep the GPS flat when using the compass and this will make a more accurate compass when walking around.<br><br>I have yet to find anything about the mhz it will run on but I suspect it will be the same FCC regulations as the current versions.

Now this is cool!<br><br><a href="http://www.garmin.com/astro/">http://www.garmin.com/astro/</a><br><br>It transmits position updates every 5 seconds on a VHF frequency. Could this<br>mean that Garmin will make the Rino units available in VHF frequencies on
<br>the next model update? I hope so! The Astro 220 appears to have a better<br>antenna on it than the Rino 530/520 as well. I still would like to see an<br>external antenna adapter available on the next Rino Garmin puts out.
<br><br>The Astro 220 looks to be available in June of 2007. Another very cool and<br>innovative GPS/radio integration by Garmin!<br><br>Scott<br>Team Ropingthewind<br><br>_________________________________________________________________
