is great to hear, last time I flew was 1 year ago almost to the week and
Continental did not allow them. That is quite interesting that they decided to
remove things from the list instead of add.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Charlotte Intl. in the state that it's in (a mess!) I don't plan on flying
anytime soon thankfully. It's bad enough that I have to go there once a month to
check out my cell site. I have to jump the curb park on the median and walk to
the site since the long term parking lot is ALLWAYS full and my shelter is in
the parking lot.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Last year I left my Cessna 177B Cardinal tied down at Jefferson City, MO
airport when it became apparant that the weather would be bad for at least a
week and I had to get back to work in NJ. Rented a car and drove home
using the portable Garmin 396 GPS from the plane in the auto mode. A
couple weeks later I flew Continental from Newark to St. Louis, MO to fly
back the Cardinal and had the GPS, charts, etc. as carryon. Upon
perusing the Continental magazine after getting on the plane, I noted
that a GPS is now a specifically permitted electronic device above 10,000
feet. So when the captain announced laptops, etc. OK I turned it
on. It was cool to see my Continental flight within a few miles of the
breadcrumb trail from my Cardinal flight west a few weeks earlier.
On of the flight attendants even came over now and then to watch its
display. <g></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So no regulations against GPS use, it's entirely at the discretion of the
airline.</DIV>

<APBIDDLE@UNITED.NET> <BR><BR>> Hi, <BR>> <BR>> A bit off
topic, but I suspect many here travel with a regular GPS. I <BR>> checked
the TSA and AA web site, but could not find anything, one way or <BR>>
another, concerning transporting a GPS and bean bag mount in carry on bags.
<BR>> Any experience, or definitive reference? <BR>> <BR>> Alan
