The Rino 530 (Radio Integrated with Navigation for 

the Outdoors) is a 7.6 ounce, 12 channel GPS-enabled 

handheld device. It has integrated radio functionality to 

provide two-way communications for up to two miles 

using 14 FRS (Family Radio Service) channels. The Rino 

530 also provides 8 high-performance GMRS (General 

Mobile Radio Service) channels and 8 GMRS repeater 

channels (U.S. versions only) for up to five miles. 

GMRS repeater channels are not approved for use by the 

Canadian government, so they are disabled on Rino 530 

units sold in Canada.
The Rino 530 has three user-selectable power levels: 0.5 

W, 2.0 W, and 5.0 W.  Keep in mind that FRS channels 

only transmit at 0.5 W, even if you select a higher power 

level. The Rino 530 also has a rechargeable lithium-ion 

battery pack with charger. If you wish, you can purchase 

an optional alkaline battery pack (however, transmit 

power is limited to 2.0 W when using this pack).

The unit contains built-in cartography of a North 

American basemap that includes Interstate and State 

Highways and Exit Information. Using MapSource

can display up to 24 MB of a variety of different map 

information. We currently offer several mapping options 

that are compatible with the Rino 530 including our

data. Check your local dealer or the Garmin Web site

Garmin designed your Rino 530 with you, the user, in 

mind. The Rino 530 is waterproof to IPX7 standards and 

is rugged enough to endure the most trying use. Garmin’s 

friendly user interface allows you to start navigating with 

your new GPS in no time. Your Rino 530 can provide one 

more critical benefit: peace of mind. With your Rino 530 

you know where you are, where you’ve been, and where 

you’re going. And since you’ll always know the way back 

home, you can concentrate on what you set out to do; 

explore the great outdoors.
