How has your experience been with them?
Thanks in advance, WT

Ours are the original Rinos, the
Rino 110, so they're fairly old. We occasionally still use them when geocaching or visiting a park with my eldest niece and nephew (they have their own Rino 110s). It is indeed handy to see their present positions plotted on our Rino units, especially when geocaching (when everyone sometimes ends up out of sight of one another briefly).
The Rino units, like all of Garmin's product line, are built solid and function as desired. I was not a huge fan of the user interface on the Rino 110, and I'm not sure in what ways it has changed on the newer Rino units. I'm sure it has improved, just as the newer incarnations of some other Garmin units I've used (Streetpilot, GPSMap, etc.) have improved over the years.
