That's great, providing that you are allowed to use your GPS device on
the plane.

Subject: [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.
Kevin
