Using handheld GPS on commercial flight

TWApilot - I have simply asked that you read previous posts: This may involve your acceptance of the possibility that you are not a definitive authority as a pre-requisite.

There are numerous threads on the subject, in this, and other forums. Most particularly I would draw your attention to posts by radeng who can speak with some experience.

I would further draw your attention to previous threads/posts where the difficulty of effectively policing the use of electronic devices that may not be fully understood either by the crew, the airlines, the passengers, the manufacturers themselves or most commonly some combination of them all, is discussed.

In short - there are a number of intelligent views on the subject. No one person has a monopoly on correct answers, including yourself. Taking the time to actually read previous threads/posts will explain further.
