What you do you think of the Garmin GPS 72?
Well, the Garmin 72 doesn't have a quadrahelix antenna, but I have had a 72 for about 3 or 4 years, and I've done just about everything to it except treat it nicely... I've jumped into rivers after it (and once after it fell off of a train bridge) dropped it off mt. sides, one time I even lost it in the winter time, it must've fallen out of my jeep as I was getting out, but it was missing for about four weeks, and I found it in the snowbank in front of my apartment (and this was after a few snow storms and the parking lot was plowed about 3 or 4 times...) and it still works great! (I even bout a 76cs a few months ago, and I prefer the 72 over the 76)
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
