GPS actually will not interfere with flight electronics, because it is receive only, unlike cellular.I am somewhat surprised that they are allowed...I had thought that all devices that contained any sort of 'radio' within were banned in flight.First make sure that the airline that you are flying, allows them. Not all airlines allow them.I've never thought about bringing a GPS along. I might have to do that next time.
Of course, that becomes hard to define or enforce...what about bluetooth earpieces? Or wireless mouses...or radio set, wristwatches? The latter example cannot even be 'turned off'....
EDIT: Sorry, just saw that jis beat me to it.
