Hi Dave
Since getting the Holux, picking up satellites was much faster and easier, and
trekking more satellites on flights. Has read up to 10 good satellites on
several flights which I did not get on the earlier two receivers. Even had 7
very good satellites on flight.
Did San francisco to JFK on a Boeing 757 and did not have to place receiver on
window and could follow flight.
Tried leaving receiver in shirt pocket and could follow flight with road names
below.
However, lost satellites for two hours flying from JFK to Frankfurt. This was
like three hours into the flight, and this was on a Boeing 747/400. the rest
of the flight from Frankfurt to singapore had good reading all the way, with
window shutters down and the receiver on the arm-rest facing down stuck to the
arm-rest with "blue-tag".
The subsequent four flights from Singapore to Bangkok (900 miles, on Boeing 777
and 744)) and to Korea (2880 miles) also trekked many good satellites.
Regards
Cheng Hock

Hi, Despite more sensitive receivers I have had less success in getting the
GPS to work on airplanes lately. Has anyone else noticed this?
Dave
taxation WITH representation isn't so hot, either!
