Can you turn a GPS unit on while flying on an airline?

Posted by admin

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.
