Hi,
I see in the manual that it is recommended that you get permission
from the airline before using GPS on a flight.
Do you still do this and if so who do you talk with and how do you justify it?
Thanks!

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.

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

taxation WITH representation isn't so hot, either!
