Alex84 Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 I've been waiting to get a Rino 750 for Gatta this year but the price has jumped up $150-$200 for Anaconda members at some point recently. Price is now $800. As far as i can see the 700 is black and white instead of color and alot cheaper. Anyone have a 700 that can confirm if it suits all purposes? Also i think all Rino's can find each other for location alerts. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samburstalker Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 don't get the 700. I saw the 750 the other month on ebay and discounts for under $500, I think from ryda? easter is coming up, wait for discounts and then get annaconda to price beat, rino around the $630 is a great price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samburstalker Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 you need colour, this shows you rivers, creeks, hill shades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samburstalker Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 price beat it with macpac, around the $690, you will also need topo maps, ebay about $30, just make sure its compatible with the 750. I think the last compatible version is 5, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifletuner Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 The 700 is fully compatible with the 750 and all other rino models for showing others on the screen. The 700 is not bad. I bought 2 back when they were $250 each. At that price it was too big of a step up to the 750 for me to be able to justify the 750. But as sambar stalker said, the maps on the 750 are a big step up from the 700. But the 750 is definitely a better model. Garmin have deliberately reduced the features in the 700. Its not just a black and white version of the 750. I also have the Astro 100 dog tracker and the maps on that are heaps better than the rino 700.

Foxdog Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 I have a 650, had it for over 11 years. Colour screen and run topo maps fine. Connects with other rino units and you can text message other units to cut out noise with talking. I haven't looked at the newer units so can't say if they are similar. Maybe look at second hand units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex84 Posted March 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 Macpac is now $770 and Ryda is now $920 for the 750. Bloody everything is getting more expensive now. We're experiencing a lovely global hangover from Covid lock down payments and businesses closing down. Thank god we all got locked up at home to get rid of it eh... Anyhow, I'm also not trusting enough on buying second hand electronics. I'll see how things go with Easter sales and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex84 Posted May 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Just bought a 750 today second hand but pretty much brand new for 550 just in time for the weekend at Gatta. Are the installed topo maps good enough or should i get something else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex84 Posted May 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 its got software version 4.1. It's still got all the wrapping on the parts and screen protector. I don't think its been used and if it has barely at all. Opening the map brings it up at the end of my street but then it loses satellite reception after a few seconds. With half our shit still in boxes i haven't got time to play with it before heading out there. Gotta find all my gear. its too late to buy from the link and get it for tomorrow anyway. If you have a spare SD i can use that'd be amazing. I'll bring it out and see how it goes either way. Worst case i will have it ready for the next trip and hunts i'll start doing in VIC in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
