GPS?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></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
