how about just taking a standard charger + converter, I'm sure they will have some electricity supplies.

Philip Said:

is there a solar charger i could charge my garmin rino 530 with while backpacking?

We Answered:

The Solio Classic solar charger costs $99.95 http://www.rei.com/product/764524
Read the reviews first. It requires a lot of direct sunlight (solar, duh), and no one mentioned attaching it to a backpack, though at 5.8 ounces I'm sure it's doable.

Have you considered hand crank power? http://www.thetravelinsider.info/roadwar…

Or mini wind-mill power? http://www.motherearthnews.com/Alternati…

dose anybody know of a solar charger that i could take backpacking with me to charge a garmin rino 530hcx?

We Answered:

I don't know if you will be able to find something for such a low price but there are a lot out there to pick from. Backpacks or roll modules and foldable or even portable chargers with a voltage controller unit with settings to charge everything from an IPod to a laptop. If you want it is already made.
