Garmin eTrex on an Aeroplane?

[Sebby]

Could the Garmin eTrex be used on an aeroplane?

Thanks.

I would think so, technically I believe they are used as nav aids now, but I'm not sure it would be allowed, on a commercial flight, many electronic things are not, for security and interferance reasons

http://www.airliners.net/discussions/tech_ops/read.main/103730/ has an interesting (heated) discussion on this subject.

Thanks for that.

So it will definitely work, but it's just whether the airline allows it?

[Darren]

Yes it will work but few airlines allow use of GPS in flight.

I have used my GPS-V on a number of flights, it's pretty cool.

There are a couple of threads that disuss it here and here here and here

Enjoy!
