garmin 130 — save your money and buy something else
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
i purchaased a garmin 130. what a joke. i couldn’t get the softward loaded. it came with an old serial port connection and cable. modern computers don’t even have this connection. company support was terrible. they offered usb softward to try to convert but it didn’t work. i compared the radio transmission distances against inexpensive motorola 2-ways. the garmin got blown away. this may be the worse purchase i’ve made ever.

“I buy the RINO 130 FROM ELECTRONICA DIRECT. ARRIVE FASTER THAN WHAT I EXPECTED. THE ITEM WAS NEW THE WAY THEY SAY IT WOULD BE, AND PRICE WAS THE BEST COMPARED WITH OTHER SALERS. AND MY THANKS TO CUSTUMER SERVICES FOR THEIR PROFESIONALISM, I LOVE MY RINO AND I SUGEST ANYONE INTERESTED IN OUTDOOR ADVENTURES, GET ONE OF THIS GAGET, FROM THE FAMILY OF RINO, FROM ELECTRONICA DIRECT THE BEST PRICE.” NISE GAGET.
I LOVE..
Great Gadget

I have had this for a year now and it works great. Matches ACU color. I would buy the 430 or 420 with the color screen but I don’t need the color screen. I haven’t downloaded any new base maps but I intend to do so at some point before a deployment. If you want a cheap GPS to give you MGRS grids, purchase the Foretrex not Forerunner. The Forerunner is only for lon/lat. So unless you are a flyboy and you want a cheaper, smaller unit get the Garmin Foretrex. I would like to get another unit that has an MMC slot, currently the only ones that have that are the E-Trex and some other models.
Overall it is a great item.
NOT Waterproof
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Used the unit once! I have 3 Garmin Products, two Vehicle GPS and one Personal Wrist Watch GPS, Have always been happy with the company until now. Purchased the unit and went out Kayaking once with it, conditions were windy to calm with some splashing water. When I went to change the batteries I discovered that Water got into the battery compartment, shocked because the unit is advertised as waterproof but should not be too shocked after seeing the thin seal on the compartment. Called Garmin expecting excellent support, as I said I own multiple Garmin Products and have been pleased until now. I was told by the Tech support people that although it is rated waterproof it is only is it is “standing” water and up to 1 meter. Apparently splashing water can be forced into the back and damage the unit. IT WAS NOT COVERED by warranty and was told to get a return from the retailer. Extremely dissatisfied customer and will think twice when buying another Garmin product.
