I grew up with a fairly advance technical knowledge, or at least I thought I did. Somewhere along the line I believe the technology has caught up with me.
Most people can hop into their vehicle and operate their dashboard GPS just fine, mine is no different. I purchased this handheld GPS, however, a couple years ago and it is so far beyond my understanding that it has literally been of little use to me.
It happens to be a Garmin Rino 530HCX with two way 40 channel radio, along many other features such as placing your position on the other GPS units every time you mike up. I certainly thought it would be a good one, and not lacking any needed functions.
"with the Garmin Rino 530 HCx, which provides full color map handheld GPS functionality, plus a powerful two-way radio, plus NOAA weather radio, and more. But its position reporting feature is its unique factor. Press the "call" or "talk" keys to automatically send your exact location to other Rino users in your group, or "poll" others' locations from the menu to appear on your map. The Rino's sturdy, waterproof, rubber-armored construction helps it stand up to rough outdoors treatment."
I have been looking all over the internet attempting to locate a local GPS class that someone may be giving...no luck~!~
Around here no one, not even the sales person know a thing about how the units operate.
I can figure out most of the more advanced stuff on the unit, but the little things bug me to death...like reseting the trail line function. It saves a large number of trails (paths/trtips you have been on) but I can never start the trail over, and when I turn the unit on again it picks up where the unit was last turned off.
I pretty much purchased these unit's for ATV's, when we get separated on large plots of land we could find each other easily.
My question is this...does anyone know how to locate training classes for GPS units~?~ I'd love to learn all the functions of this piece of equipment that puts my know how to shame.
