Hi Guys, I ca see the standard BN with the earth mate serial, there
is no transmitter. With regards to the Pk though, the blue tooth is a
transmitter, Correct? So does this mean that we should not use them on an
aircraft? Mike have you used the PK and the Blue logger on an aircraft?

Gavin,
The trick is to ask the pilot for permission and not the flight attendant.
Give the flight attendant a braille and print note that says,
"I'd like permission to use my Braille GPS in the air. This is a receiving
device only."
Ask him or her to present this to the pilot.
