Sherry K asked:


I cannot find any information regarding a portable auto GPS – just PDA’s, cell phones, etc.

Cmundley asked:


I always bring my GPS unit so I can find my way around an unfamiliar city. I’ve always wanted to turn it on while on the plane to see what it does, is that allowed? I think its just a receiver, and doesn’t transmit anything.
I’m always interested in knowing how fast were traveling, and where we are while flying.

Tony R asked:


Or will security not let me bring it due to “interference with cockpit stuff”

I don’t really want to put it in my checked bag because that’s just going to have clothes in it. I don’t want anything in there that can break.

I think it would be fun to have GPS device with me to see where I am, speed and so on. As well, GPS receiver does not transmit anything to be dangerous. But I am unsure if it is allowed.

Chad asked:


I am flying out of MCI or Kansas City International and I was just curious if I could take my GPS thing on with me as a carryon so that I can track the speed and where we are at an exact moment. I’m just big on speed and it would be fun as opposed to staring outside the window for 3 hours. Also could I take digital pictures with my camera if something seems interesting to do so? Thanks!

I’m going on a long flight pretty soon and I have a handheld Garmin GPS. I’d like to use it to see where I am, how fast we’re going, stuff like that. Is it safe to turn a GPS on when flying? What about during takeoff and landing?
