Review on Garmin Rino 700: Rugged 2-Way Radio and Handheld GPS Navigator, GPS/GLONASS Enabled by Michelle Hall

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The non-replaceable battery failed after a few months.

I bought a Garmin 700 in February 2020 and was very happy with its performance. Now, 5 months later and after only a few uses, the battery is completely dead. The device only works in normal mode when connected to a power source, but does not charge, which greatly reduces its usefulness. ***Update Garmin support was very helpful and offered to replace the unit (still under warranty). However, I would never buy this product if I knew that the battery is not replaceable.***

Pros
  • Portable GPS units
Cons
  • Very expensive
