GPS use is allowed on United at the Captain's discretion (except during takeoff and landing).

Only on American, that I know of, is it listed as a prohibited electronic item. I think that Continental and SW are OK with it. Not sure about Delta or United.<image.tiff>

Interesting enough, 1 week prior to my introduction to geocaching, I was on a flightr from SF to Houston (with a free upgrade to 1st class) when I was exposed to my first GPSr. The gentleman sitting next to me was verifying altitude and speed as stated by the pilot. The flight attendants were also interested, but from a curiousity stance, not one of security, or potential inteference to electronics. On subsequent trips I have hooked up my laptop and openly operated my GPSr while showing progress to other passengers and flight attendants w/o any negative responses. It's been a while since I looked at the pages of inflight magazines to verify, but in the past GPSrs were not listed a prohibbited, though this may have been prior to recent popularity.

I usually follow the prohibited list while on board a plane... However,
there was this one time and it was very cool. Not too sure if they would
appreciate it if they caught me though. They are strictly prohibited while
in flight..
