Creating a Breadcrumb Trail

As you move, notice that a breadcrumb trail of your path is left on 

the map. This trail is called a Track Log. You can use the track log to 

retrace your steps back to a certain location. 

To view your breadcrumb trail (track log):

1.  Use the 

Page button to display the Map Page. 

2.  Walk away from your original location for at least  

three minutes.

3.  The default zoom level is 80 miles. Press the 

Zoom button to 

zoom in to view the breadcrumb trail (track log) in detail. 

Navigating with Your Rino 120

You can navigate to a waypoint, city, exit, or a contact’s location. 

Using optional detailed maps, you can also navigate to points of 

interest, addresses, and intersections. 

To begin navigation using Find ‘N Go:

1.  Press the 

Thumb Stick In to display the Shortcuts Menu.

2.  Highlight 

Find ‘N Go and press the Thumb Stick In.

3.  Highlight 

Waypoints and press the Thumb Stick In. Select 

the desired option (by 

Nearest or by Name), and press the 

Thumb Stick In.

4.  Highlight the desired waypoint and press the 

Thumb Stick In.

5.  With the Waypoint Page displayed, highlight the 

Goto button 

at the bottom of the page and press the 

Thumb Stick In to 

begin navigation. The Navigation Page automatically opens  

to guide you to your destination. See below for more  

information. 

Navigation Page

The two main components of the Navigation Page are the compass 

ring and the pointer. As you move, the compass ring rotates showing 

your current direction of travel at the top of 

the display. The pointer points toward your 

destination. When the pointer is aligned with 

the vertical line at the top of the compass ring, 

you are on a direct course toward your destina-

tion. The unit has to be moving to navigate. If 

you are standing still or moving very slowly, 

the navigation data may not be accurate.

Using Contacts

The first time you receive a signal from another Rino user, the New 

Contact page is displayed. From the New Contact page you can 

show the user’s location on your Map, Goto 

that position, select OK to add them to your 

contact list, or press the Page/Quit button 

to disregard the contact. Every time you 

receive signals from contacts, your map 

is updated showing their new position. A 

Track Log of their movement is created and 

shown on your map.

Sending a Location

You can send any location that you have available in your Find ‘N 

Go menu. These may be waypoints, contacts, cities, exits, or any 

other data that is loaded in the unit. Below are the steps to send a 

waypoint.

To send a location (waypoint) using Find ‘N Go:

1.  Press the 

Thumb Stick In and hold it until the Shortcuts 

Menu is displayed, or press the 

Page button until the Main 

Menu is displayed. 

2.  Highlight 

Find ‘N Go and press the Thumb Stick In. Highlight 

Waypoints and press the Thumb Stick In. Select Nearest or 

By Name and press the Thumb Stick In.

3.  Highlight the waypoint that you want to send and press the 

Thumb Stick In to display the Waypoint Review page. 

4.  Highlight the 

Option Menu button 

 and press the 

Thumb 

Stick In.

5.  Select 

Send Location and press the Thumb Stick In.

Send Location

The location is sent to all Rinos on the same channel and squelch 

code as you. They can then choose to Goto that location, view the 

location on the map (Map), or save the location (OK).

Using Peer-to-Peer Positioning

The Rino’s most unique feature is Peer-to-Peer positioning, send-

ing the location of one Rino unit to other Rino units. Peer-to-Peer 

positioning allows you to track the movement of other Rino users 

and even navigate to their location. 

To send your location:

  Press and release either the 

Call or Talk button. Your Rino 

120 automatically sends out its location. Other Rino users 

monitoring the same channel and squelch code receive this 

information. 

Polling a Location

If you have not heard from a contact in a while and would like to 

know that contact’s current location, you may “poll” the contact’s 

location. This will update that contact’s location in your Rino 120.

To poll a location:

1.  Press the 

Thumb Stick In and hold it until the Shortcuts 

Menu is displayed, or press the 

Page button until the Main 

Menu is displayed. 

2.  Highlight 

Find ‘N Go and press the Thumb Stick In. Highlight 

Contacts and press the Thumb Stick In. 

3.  Highlight the contact that you 

want to poll and press the 

Thumb 

Stick In to display the Contact 

Review page. 

4.  Highlight the 

Option Menu button 

 and press the 

Thumb  

Stick In.

5.  Select 

Poll Location and press 

the 

Thumb Stick In.

Sending a Note

You can send a note to communicate silently with other Rino 120 

users on the same channel and squelch code that you are using. This 

can be a Saved Note or a new note. (This feature is not available on 

Rino 110 units.)

To send a note:

1.  Press the 

Thumb Stick In to display the Shortcuts Menu. 

2.  Select the 

Send Note option. 

3.  To create a new note or edit an existing note, press the 

Thumb Stick In when the Edit Note field is highlighted. Enter 

your note using the data entry keyboard. Select 

OK when 

complete. 

  To use a Saved Note, select the desired note from the 

Saved 

Note list and press the Thumb Stick In. 

4.  Select 

Send to send the note to all Rino 120 users on the 

same channel and squelch code that you are using. Select 

Save to save the note for future use. Select Clear to erase 

the note. 

If you have further questions or just want to learn more about the 

operation of Rino 120, refer to the Owner’s Manual, which provides
