Used the unit once! I have 3 Garmin Products, two Vehicle GPS and one Personal Wrist Watch GPS, Have always been happy with the company until now. Purchased the unit and went out Kayaking once with it, conditions were windy to calm with some splashing water. When I went to change the batteries I discovered that Water got into the battery compartment, shocked because the unit is advertised as waterproof but should not be too shocked after seeing the thin seal on the compartment. Called Garmin expecting excellent support, as I said I own multiple Garmin Products and have been pleased until now. I was told by the Tech support people that although it is rated waterproof it is only is it is "standing" water and up to 1 meter. Apparently splashing water can be forced into the back and damage the unit. IT WAS NOT COVERED by warranty and was told to get a return from the retailer. Extremely dissatisfied customer and will think twice when buying another Garmin product.

"I buy the RINO 130 FROM ELECTRONICA DIRECT. ARRIVE FASTER THAN WHAT I EXPECTED. THE ITEM WAS NEW THE WAY THEY SAY IT WOULD BE, AND PRICE WAS THE BEST COMPARED WITH OTHER SALERS. AND MY THANKS TO CUSTUMER SERVICES FOR THEIR PROFESIONALISM, I LOVE MY RINO AND I SUGEST ANYONE INTERESTED IN OUTDOOR ADVENTURES, GET ONE OF THIS GAGET, FROM THE FAMILY OF RINO, FROM ELECTRONICA DIRECT THE BEST PRICE." NISE GAGET. I LOVE..
