I suspect this question has been asked before but I don't get much time to visit this site. A friend of mine has a saved track using Delorme Topo software, I use Mapsource Topo. If he sends me the track will I be able to use it in Mapsource? Thanks in advance.

FYI, I had no problem using the Rino 120 on 4 US Airway's flights. I used it in full view of everyone - had to keep the unit close to the window to maintain signal. I kept the radio off and only used the GPS at 10,000 ft or higher. It was a lot of fun and helped pass the time. I also used it on St. Maarten to find my first cache and also to keep track of where I was.

Thanks for all the responses and the links to the other threads. The unit I want to take is a Garmin Rino 120 GPS/FRS/GMRS. I also reviewed the Transportation Safety Administrations web site. They do not mention GPS units or FRS/GMRS radios as a prohibited or permitted item. So I emailed them the question and gave them the model info and a link to Garmin. All I got back was a generic answer ... the bottom line is that it is up to the security screener. I guess I will find out at the security check point! Boy, my wife will be po'd if we miss the flight over this.

I just recently purchased my first GPS unit and I want to take it on a trip. What is the best way to take it on the plane? Can it be damaged by the security equipment at the airport? The last trip I packed 2 FRS radio's in a checked bag and it was searched. Will I be allowed to take it on the plane? I think I will pose these same questions to the airline.
