[gps-talkusers] a modifed 757

Dear GPS Users, 

When flying from Atlanta to Sacramento, I had the oppurtunity to fly in a 
modified 757. I had  the same initial reaction what can be modified about the 
plane. Well, there are array of things that were added on, which some of 
include built-in flat screen tv's on the back of each headrest, the tv also 
included a cd player with the ability to create a custom playlist, there was 
also an option for on demand, there was also the ability to watch Direct TV, 
and while the passenger was not doing any of these, on the  appears a picture 
of the plane flying, it will signify which state the plane is currently over, 
how fast the plane is going, what is the current elevation, how far has the 
plane traveled, and approximately how much  longer you will have to stay on the 
plane. Of course, none of this  information is available to us, unless we have 
a GPS device of our own. I also had the oppurtunity to sit next to someone who 
kindly told me one small information about the display, which was the current 
state we were over, and of course, I asked a few other questions regarding what 
was being displayed on the plane, which is how I found  out the other 
information about what was displayed. I found  it kind of funny that a plane 
would have to be   modified to give everyone else the same information that we 
are able to acquire easily on our BrailleNote GPS, so we are one step ahead.
