GPSr Units / Rino 530 HCX accuracy
October 04, 2010, 11:33:07 PM
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.
