Peer-to-Peer - Overview
The Rino’s most unique feature is being able to send
it’s location to another Rino, this is called Peer-to-Peer
positioning. With peer-to-peer enabled (see pg. 8) and
you have a GPS position (see pg. 48), whenever you
press and release either the CALL key or the TALK key,
the Rino will automatically send out its location. This
information will be available to all other Rino users that
are monitoring the same channel and code. This feature
allows you to track the movement of other Rino users and
even navigate to their location. Locations may only be
sent once every 10 seconds, due to FCC restrictions.
To transmit your location to other Rino users:
1. With ‘Send Location’ enabled (see pg. 8), press and
release either the TALK or CALL buttons. You will
see a flag on the top Status Bar or in Mark’s hand
when the unit is ready to transmit its position.
New Contact Page - Overview
The fi rst time that a signal is received from another
Rino user, a ‘New Contact’ page will be displayed. From
the New Contact page you can show their location on
your map, ‘Goto’ their location, or select ‘OK’ to add
them to your contact list. The Rino can manage up to 50
contacts at any time. Each time that you receive a signal
from a contact, your map will be updated showing their
new position and a Track Log of their movement will
be created and shown on your map (see pg. 45). After a
contact has been established, a “<contact name> Updated”
message will briefl y appear at the bottom of your display
each time the contact updates. You may also review each
contact’s information such as Direction, Elevation, Time-
stamp, Location and enter Notes up to 30 characters.
All contacts are listed on a Contact List Page and
also displayed in the Contact Bar on the Map Page (see
pg. 14). Contacts behave like and count towards the 500
maximum waypoint total.
