Garmin Rino 755t, Rugged Handheld 2-Way Radio/GPS Navigator with Camera and Preloaded TOPO Mapping

The radio communication is exceptionally hit or miss, and the range is not even close to the claimed 20 miles. Additionally, the ability to get the location of other users, which was the main reason I purchased this, works only occasionally and not in a helpful way. Wouldn’t purchase.

I purchased to be able to communicate with family members while out hunting in remote areas. The others all have older Rino models that seem to work well together. While nothings perfect, the biggest issue I saw with the older Rinos was the positioning of other hunters wasnt updated frequently, but it was acceptable.

I recently upgraded to this Rino 755t. I love it . Easier to use. I hunt and walk long distances . I can hear my friends with other Rinos and see their locations. I still have the old Rino 530 HCx for my son. I love the Rino series radios.

This should be an awesome device, however the software is horrible and despite trying to obtain support from Garmin, my device (bought brand new) would not update. All you get when trying to register / update your device is a message Please wait while we finish setting up your device - which will last as long as you are willing to wait - in my case 5 attempts and about 10 to 15 minutes each time after installing and re-installing Garmin express software as recommended by Garmin support. Just horrible.

This is so accurate and convenient to use. Even have feature for nearest store to your location!!!

Does its job at finding your location and navigating you through the wilderness, which is all i really wanted.. But for near 600$ I thought it would have more bells and whistles. It reminds me of the old Garmins from 15+ years ago technology wise. The radio was another feature I was interested in and have yet to ever pick up anybody else broadcasting, other than the weather station. Would be a great unit at say 300$ but at its price point now I feel its way over priced.

Just got back from annual hunting trip to Utah. Worked great as expected.

If your a outdoor person these are great to have, the seller has amazing customer service

I have had a 530HCX and a 655t . Loved them both and used them a ton. Everything was great until my screen cracked on my 655. I did it myself and I told them so. I just wanted to get repairs made to it, and I would gladly pay for the work. Too bad for me they discontinued this unit, and even though I had only had it for a couple of years they wont fix it, I am just out $650. I will not purchase another Garmn product. Buyer beware!

I bought the 755t thinking it would be a major improvement over my previous Rino 120 and 530 series radios. I was disappointed that it didnt deliver what was advertised. While I like the combined radio/gps unit at the core of the Rino series I wonder why Garmin hasnt incorporated an emergency SAT message system of some sort into the unit. The core GPS/radio appears unchanged and the lithium battery does provide longer operating time. The touch screen while an improvement over the toggle could be an inch longer and a 1/4 wider. Screen resolution is very poor compared to any smart phone. The interface is not intuitive and can be summed up as cumbersome and slow. The real test came on a remote 7 day hunt. The topo contours are not the standard 40 foot USGS standard but a watered down 150 interval and not very useful. The camera function would be great however when I used it on my unit it locked up the screen. I had to remove and install the battery to reboot it. Additionally, at the end of one day I had turned off the unit to conserve battery power but when I turned it on it locked up...no buttons functioned and the screen merely illuminated with the GARMIN boot screen. It left me in the dark with no guidance (even after remove/replace battery) and I ended up using my Silva magnetic compass to get me back to camp. Rino is a great concept that I wish Garmin would work out the bugs on before placing on the market.
