Well, that's what I did. People use laptops on planes all the time and they have bluetooth stuff on them, GPS or other stuff.

You mean just be quiet about using it?

I just tried it when we reached altitude, around 38000 feet this past July. From my experience, you have to put the receiver, in my case, the Holux 236, between the window shade and the window. It's amazing how much attenuation there is in the metal tube body of a plane. I was using GPS 3.5 so didn't have the replay feature. Anyway, we didn't experience any anomalies as a result of my bluetooth receiver. I doubt there's any more RF radiation from that then from a laptop. I'd try it and have fun.----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Parks" <mehgcap@xxxxxxx>To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 7:45 PM Subject: [gps-talkusers] Re: GPS when flying?Not sure about wired receivers, but people tend to frown upon my use of my bluetooth, if they know what it is. As soon as I say "short-range wireless..." they say "no". A shame as I have always wanted to track a flight using my BN, and I expect I would get incredible satellite reception at 35,000 feet up.Have a great day, Alex----- Original Message ----- From: Joleen <cjferg@xxxxxxxxxxx To: gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date sent: Tue, 07 Aug 2007 19:18:21 -0700 Subject: [gps-talkusers] GPS when flying?Hi All,It seems to me that, without fail, every time I have flown they have said that we could use computers but not any devices that transmit or receive data.I feel sure that Sendero would not publicly condone something that is prohibited. Therefore, I ask, under what circumstances is it "legal" to use a GPS when flying?I would love to try using mine, but only with appropriate permission.Thanks,Joleen-- No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG Free Edition.
