Compass Page
The two main components of the Compass 

page are the compass ring and the pointer. As 

you move, the compass ring rotates showing 

your 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 520HCx 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 530HCx only) 

becomes functional to maintain directional orientation. Follow instruc-

tions 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:

The 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 

location on your MapGo To that position. 

Select OK to add them to your contact list.  To 

disregard the contact, exit by pressing the Page 

button   or the Page/Quit key. Every time 

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.

menu. These may be waypoints, contacts, cities, exits, or any 

other data that is loaded in the unit. Below are the steps to send a
