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.

Using Contacts
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 Map, Go 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.
