  1. Hello All, Either, My GPS error is only five feet. It's got to be right here. or Hey, hold my beer and watch this...
  2. I am a private pilot and have used GPS's on airplanes for years. My aircraft has a Bendix/King KLN94 GPS connected to the autopilot for navigation(really cool). I have used a Garmin GPS III+ and now a 60CS for backup. All airlines used to have no problem with GPS's. Over the last few years I have started seeing them show up in the do not use section electronics section of the airline magazines. I think it's because GPS users were bad passengers sticking things to windows and pointing out when the plane was going the wrong direction(holding for example). The 60CS has a barometric altimeter that works great in my unpressurized plane. You have to turn it off and use GPS altitude in a pressurized aircraft or it will show constant altitude no matter how high you are. You can see some pretty high speeds going east (with the jet stream). More recently I am seeing a mix of some carriers allowing GPS use.
  3. One more for the 60CS. Hello cachers. I am new to caching. I travel all around the world though and have used a GPS for several years. I just upgraded from a Garmin III+ to the 60CS. Stuck with Garmin since I already had the map software. As a private pilot I love the 60CS' barometric altimeter. It works as a great backup for air navigation. Have to turn the barometer off in a pressurized cabin though. Pressure stays constant there. Love all the other features that have been discussed... color, routing, e-compass, etc. It's the best handheld I've used.
