No matter where you go, the Garmin Rino 120 will keep you in contact. This waterproof FRS/GMRS radio plus GPS navigator comes to you with a basemap, a voice scrambler and a vibrate mode that keeps you connected when out in the wilderness. <span id="more-152"></span></p>
<p>This state-of-the-art navigator/two-way communicator provides you with two-way communication for up to two miles using FRS channels and up to 5 miles using GMRS channels. You can download driving, hunting, hiking or fishing maps to guide you, no matter what you are into.</p>
<p>The Rino 120 combine GPS features with a two-way radio that helps you keep track of other members in your group. By using the Rino&#8217;s Position Reporting feature, you are able to send your precise location to the other members of your group who are carrying a Rino &#8211; they will see your location on the map page. You can also use the standard FRS/GMRS radio to communicated with other FRS/GMRS radios around the area.</p>
<p>Your radio signal can be scrambled by the Rino 120 for extra secure communications, so only your intended recipient gets the signal. When you want silence when out hunting,  just switch the 120 to the vibrate mode so you won&#8217;t disturb that big buck you have your sights on.</p>

The technology of integrated navigation has arrived, thanks to the Northstart 6100i Series. The latest Northstar systems are available in any size that you require and they are Navionics Platinum compatible. Navionics Platinum offers the most detailed 3D map views, port photos, satellite overlay maps and much more. The Northstar 6100i chartplotters come with built-in GPS antennas-you just choose the Navionics region that you need and you&#8217;re off! <span id="more-148"></span></p>
<p>The Northstar 6100i is a portable GPS system that is made especially for the boater. The Northstar 6100i will change how you think about marine electronics. It is very easy to use the Northstar 6100i, as a stand-alone unit or when used as an integrated system. You choose which display size you want and then choose the functions that are tailored to your needs. If you start simple, it stays simple, no matter if you own a big boat or a small vessel.</p>
<p>The 6000 series by Northstar is all about flexibility and offers you total integration from the hardware, software to upgrades.</p>
<p>The Northstar 6100i uses N2 Technology to move information around your boat. Enter a waypoint on one display, and see the waypoint on every display. By inserting a Navionics chart card into the master unit, N2 makes that same chart data available to the other units you have onboard. If you add a radar to the 6100i, then all the units are able to display and control the radar.</p>
