Which is the better GPS? Garmin Rino® 520HCx or Garmin GPSMAP® 60CSx. I know the basic differences between the GPS is that the Garmin Rino® 520HCx is a 2-way radio and the Garmin GPSMAP® 60CSx is not. I'm more interested in finding out which one is a better GPS? If the Garmin GPSMAP® 60CSx is a better GPS, than I wouldn't mind carrying a separate 2-way radio, but if the Garmin Rino® 520HCx is just as good as the Garmin GPSMAP® 60CSx, then I'll buy it. Besides the having the radio on the Garmin Rino® 520HCx are they basically the same GPS? The price difference is about $100.00 more for the Garmin Rino® 520HCx, is it worth it or not? Thank you!

I have both and I like 60Csx.Better GPS in my opinion.
I Hunt 365
I have no experience with the other one so I cannot compare... I do have the rhino and it's awesome.. that thing is bullet proof and weather proof... it is tough and perfect for hunting.... it's also user friendly when trying to actually use it in the field on the move, even while wearing gloves. The radio part works really good too. My only complaint is that the batteries don't last long. Hope this helps

if you want longer battery life, try useing the lithium batteries they will last 5 times longer then regular batteries, i have used them in mine the last 2 years and they are great. and they are about half the wieght of regular batteries, i use them in my flash light and everything.

That is some good advice.

Hopefully, I will be needing to use it myself. laugh.gif
