Question

What would happen to a Car GPS Navigational System if you would turn it on in a plane.?

Answer 1

well first of all, if you can get a car on a plane and the plane is obviously doing the navigation, why would you care?  second of all,  I assume you mean a portable GPS navigation system and it would do the same thing that it does anywhere else.  And your point is?  Satellites pickup location on the planet whether you're below sea level or in the sky..  as far as street by street directions, that's an entire different story.  Why do you ask anyway?

Answer 2

They work pretty well in a window seat, if allowed. It always amuses me when a GPS is prohibited (due to potential RF emissions?) while laptops (notoriously bad in terms of the RF noise) are allowed.

Of course, I don't think I'd want to be caught messing with a GPS while on the plane.

Answer 3

depends on if it could pick up a signal...but it might act wacky...

Answer 4

It will be confiscated and you may face arrest upon landing since they are specifically banned to be powered on.

Other than that, it might get some interesting ETA numbers since you travelling 400+ MPH.
