The Garmin® GPS 12 Personal Navigator®: an affordable 12 parallel
channel handheld for outdoor adventurers who want a basic, hard-working
12-channel GPS, but who don't want to spend a bundle. Based on the
popular GPS 12XL, the GPS 12 offers outdoor enthusiasts an entry-level
way to gain the power and performance of a 12-channel receiver with
fast satellite acquisition in the toughest conditions-even in heavy
tree cover. The GPS 12's rugged, waterproof case features
military-tough construction, and its rocker keypad design provides true
one-hand operation that keeps you on the move-day or night, rain or
shine. It also features 500 available waypoints and 1024 track log
points, nine proximity waypoints to mark and steer clear of dangerous
areas, and Garmin's innovative TracBack® function-a feature that
turns your track log into an instant breadcrumb trail and allows you to
reverse your route in order to quickly navigate back home. As an added
bonus, the GPS 12 also boasts a position averaging feature which
diminishes the effects of Selective Availability (SA) upon position
error and displays a value that reflects the estimated accuracy of the
averaged position. Include a host of advanced navigation features like
enhanced moving map graphics, average and maximum speed data, and trip
timers, and you have all the things that make the GPS 12 a purebred
Garmin-innovation, performance, and value.

I see no harm in drawing attention to an auction of equipment which is
relevant to a NG's subject area, provided it is prefaced - as this one was -
by FA:

Doubtless someone will quote some stuffy charter in order to contradict
this. Charters are there - among other things - to prevent blatent spam -
but the OP in this thread *isn't* spam.

I don't have a problem with brief clearly marked notifications so long as
they remain a minor part of the traffic on this newsgroup and are relevant
to everybody. However I do consider that this IS an inappropriate posting.
This is an international newsgroup but acccording to his eBay entry the
poster is only prepared to peddle his wares within the US.
