[OZAPRS] New GARMIN GPS 72

[Andrew VK4TEC]

I ended up getting a GARMIN GPS 72 for APRS, 

http://www.tech-software.net/gps72.htm

Because:-

1. etrex did not have a big tracklog.
2. geko 201 screen was horrible
3. geko 201 only lasted 8 hours 
4. gps72 runs on x2 AA batts for 16 hrs
5. gps 72 has lots of data fields.
6. etrex did not have eta
7. gps 72 has nmea version 2.03 out
8. gps 72 has a helix antenna built in, not patch
9. gps 72 has 8-35 volts in, not 3.3 volts of the others.
