Garmin Rino-GPS Show and Tell
jspectre writes: "Garmin, makers of fine GPS products, has a sneak peek of their upcoming Rino (Radios Integrated with Navigation for the Outdoors). A new handheld combination of GPS and 2-way Radio using the common FRS spectrum. In addition to downloadable maps, trip planning, weighing 8.5oz and being waterproof you can "beam" your location to other Rino users while you talk to them. Your location will show up on their GPS display allowing you to navigate to each other. Expected availability, June 2002. Great fun for geocaching parties I'd think."

What I want to know is when is a GPS company going to release a GPS for the car that does traffic analysis and automatically can route you around bad traffic spots?

Everyone has a spelling pet peeve. That's mine.
This sounds sweet, but my only question is what OS does it run? RhinocerOS?

Great. Just what I need. Now my wife won't only know where I am, she can tell me to get the hell OUT of there as well.
