Been using a Rino for years. I have never had any issues with reception, durability, etc. The ability to see other Rino users' locations, send waypoints, etc. has come in very handy many times.
Now that I am using OnX more I use my Rino less. The Rino does not have good quality resolution in comparison to OnX, mostly because the screens on smartphones are way better (but also less durable). I use my Rino during general seasons where our hunting party splits up frequently but I also carry my phone for taking pictures, playing games and using OnX even though we are nowhere near private property.
If OnX allowed text via satellite I'd probably leave the Rino at home and save some weight. Until that time I will continue to carry it when hunting in a group.
Buy the best one you can afford, the rechargeable batteries are better than the AA packs if you have a way to charge them every couple of days.
