You know, this talk of the GPS on airplanes reminds me of my last trip to
Portland on Southwest. I had no intentions of using the GPS on the plane,
preferring to keep the battery ready for use on the ground. But during the
flight attendants' information about what could and couldn't be used in
flight, they said anything "that sends or receives a signal" couldn't be
used during a flight. Obviously, a receiver doesn't send, but it does
receive. I was wondering if the regulations have changed and people are
just going by what they used to be, or if perhaps our flight attendant
misinformed us. Just curious.

I just completed a business trip to Chicago to San Francisco last Friday. I
had a window seat, using the Holux I acquired satellites as soon as we were
allowed to turn on the equipment and maintained 5 to 9 satellites until we
had to turn off the equipment prior to landing. I had no problems with any
functions.

Hi, Despite more sensitive receivers I have had less success in getting the
GPS to work on airplanes lately. Has anyone else noticed this?
