There are some problems with the legality of using these systems in an aircraft - as Portable Electronic Devices, they have to legally be switched off when the doors are closed (which kind of defeats the purpose). Only systems certified with RTCA DO160 are allowed to be used - SPOT, TRAX and many others aren't, and rely on the pilots not knowing the regulations around PEDs (which most don't)...
