Hi Guys, I ca see the standard BN with the earth mate serial, there is no transmitter. With regards to the Pk though, the blue tooth is a transmitter, Correct? So does this mean that we should not use them on an aircraft? Mike have you used the PK and the Blue logger on an aircraft?

Give the flight attendant a braille and print note that says, "I'd like permission to use my Braille GPS in the air. This is a receiving device only." Ask him or her to present this to the pilot. >hello >I have only taken my Braillenote bt and Earthmate on a plain twice on >internal flights in the UK and on both ocations Security at the airport >put the Brlnote-GPS unit through the X-ray, and then on the plane I asked >the stewardess and was informed that I could use the Braillenote, because >it performed similarly to a laptop, but I couldn't use the GPS because of >safety reasons. >They being that it could interfere with the plane's navigation system. > >I fully understand these concerns after all a planes captain must have the >final word over what does and does not happen during the flight for which >he is responsible. > >I must say however I wish I had been able to use the GPSFF >Regards Gavin Atkins. > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > >From: John Farina <john.farina@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >To: gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2005 11:13:25 -0400 (GMT-04:00) > >Subject: [gps-talkusers] taking your gps on airlines > > >Hi all, > > >I am curious to find out if anyone has experienced problems bringing > your gps receiver on airlines.
