Hi all,
I just purchased a RINO 530 HCX. I have taken it out for two different hikes. One was a 15 mile hike. On the 15 mile hike I also had a Garmin NUVI. Both recorded approximately the same distance. When I mapped it out in Basecamp it also show the same distance. This hike was near a lake with in an open area.
Just this past weekend I went on a 2.8 mile hike in the mountains/forest. The odometer on the 530 showed that we had traveled only 1.75 miles. When I loaded the log into base camp it says that we actually hiked 2.8 miles as I had expected.
My question to everyone do I have something setup wrong? Or am I just interpreting the odometer incorrectly?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
