The two main components of the Compass Page

current heading 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 destination. The Rino 520 has to be moving

to navigate. If you are standing still or moving very slowly, the

navigation data may not be accurate. When you are stationary, an

electronic compass

(Rino 530 only) becomes functional to maintain

directional orientation. Follow instructions in the

Owner’s Manual

for

calibrating the electronic compass the first time you use it.

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 also navigate to their location.

To send your location:

Press and release either the

Call

or

Talk

button. Your Rino

automatically sends out its location. Other Rino users moni-

toring the same channel and code receive this information.

he first time you are contacted by another Rino user, the New Contact

page is displayed. From the New Contact page you can show the user’s

to add them to your contact list.

To

disregard the contact, exit by pressing the

button

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.
