The RINO 530HCx Provides Many Features To Enhance Wireless Communications, Such As Transmitting The User's Current Position, Or, Any Position And Receiving Other RINO User's Position And Positioning Information.

Peer-to-Peer Positioning

Peer-to-Peer Positioning Is The Most Unique Feature Of The RINO Radio Technology.   Each RINO Radio Is Able To Send Its Position Coordinates, Automatically Or Manually To Other RINO Radios; This Feature Is Called 'Peer-to-Peer Positioning'.

With Peer-To-Peer Positioning Enabled, and the RINO Radio Has A GPS Position Fix, Whenever The Call Button Or Talk Button Is Pressed And Released, The Current GPS Fix Coordinates Are Transmitted. This Position Information Is Available To All Other RINO Users Within Reception Range Who Are Monitoring The Same Channel And Code Combination.  This Feature Adds A New Dimension To Environment And Group Awareness; Giving Each User A Map View Position And Track Movement Of Each Other RINO User, And Navigation Aid To Each Of Them.

Contacts Position Awareness & Management

The First Time A Signal Is Received From A New RINO User ID, A 'New Contact' Page Is Displayed On The Receiving RINO Radio.  From The 'New Contact' Page, The User Now Has Three Options: Select 'OK' To Add The New Contact To The User's RINO's 'Contact List'; Select 'Map' To View The Contact's Position On The Map Page; or Select 'Go To' To Have The RINO Proving Navigation Guidance To To Contact's Sent Position Coordinates.

The RINO 530HCx Deluxe Can Manage Up To 50 RINO Radio Contacts.

Each time a RINO Radio signal is received with contact position information, the map page is updated, displaying the contact's new position.   A Track Log of their movement is created and displayed on the map page.   After a contact has been established, a “<Contact-name> Updated” Message Box Briefly Appears At The Bottom Of The RINO Display Each Time The Contact Updates.

All Contacts Are Listed On The 'Find Contact' Page And Are Displayed In The 'Contact Bar' On The Map Page When The 'Contact Bar' Is Enabled.    When The Contact Does Not Send A GPS Fix, The Last Acquired Position Fix Is Used And A '?' Question Mark Is Displayed In The Location Field.

Sending Location

RINO Technology Gives The User The Ability To Send Specific Position Coordinates To Other RINO Users; Selectivity.   This Would Come In Handy When Determining A Position On The Map To Meet, Then Sending That Position To Another User Or everyone In A Group.  And, By Using The Channel And Code Combinations, The User Can Control Who Receives The Position Information.

Any Position In The RINO That Can Be Found Using 'Find', Can Be Sent.  If The RINO Needs To Wait The Required 30 Second Break (FCC Rule) Before Sending The Position Information, A “Waiting to send location...” Message Appears Until The RINO Is Able To Transmit.  If a location is sent more than once, a number is automatically added to the end of the name.
