Could a handheld GPS interfere with the INS system?
Someone on the SLF forum asked about GPS use during an airline flight...and I was wondering:

Could a GPS system like a Garmin 496 (or similar) interfere with any of the equipment in the cockpit? I would have thought that since they are usually used in aircraft anyway there wouldn't be a problem.

I take it airliners still use GPS updated INS rather than just straight GPS?
