hello
I have only taken my Braillenote bt and Earthmate on a plain twice on
internal flights in the UK and on both ocations Security at the airport
put the Brlnote-GPS unit through the X-ray, and then on the plane I asked
the stewardess and was informed that I could use the Braillenote, because
it performed similarly to a laptop, but I couldn't use the GPS because of
safety reasons.
They being that it could interfere with the plane's navigation system.
I fully understand these concerns after all a planes captain must have the
final word over what does and does not happen during the flight for which
he is responsible.
I must say however I wish I had been able to use the GPSFF
