Re: [OSM-talk] GPS gadgets can get you jailed and fined
I've left my HCX on in flights more than once. I get a very nice trace if it's facing up and sitting in my hand luggage in the overhead locker. I really must remember to turn the darn thing off when boarding a flight as I really don't like the idea of taking it out and doing so during the flight ;-) Andy >-Original Message- >From: talk-boun...@openstreetmap.org [mailto:talk- >boun...@openstreetmap.org] On Behalf Of Donald Allwright >Sent: 31 August 2009 9:54 PM >To: Arlindo Pereira; talk@openstreetmap.org >Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] GPS gadgets can get you jailed and fined > >> > >>Wow, such a crazyness... >> >>I tried to log a flight with my GPS-enabled cellphone (a Nokia N95), but >it didn't worked after a minute. >> >>http://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/workoutdetail/index.do?id=569496 ><http://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/workoutdetail/index.do?id=569496> >(forgive the google maps background, as this GPX is useless for mapping I >>didn't uploaded it to OSM) >> >>But sometimes I run into some problems using my smartphone on a plane.

How should I geolocate my pictures taken out of the plane w/o With my neighbours I speak open about the devices (WBT-201 and/or Garmin etrex), especially with the Garmin you can see where you are. And also a friend of mine never had problems with the use of GPS loggers or Garmins in planes.

I managed to log a flight from France back to England, using a Garmin Legend HCX, purely out of interest. Even though it isn't a phone, doesn't look like a phone and is not capable of transmitting anything, I was careful to be discreet for the whole flight.

Re: [OSM-talk] GPS gadgets can get you jailed and fined
Wow, such a crazyness... I tried to log a flight with my GPS-enabled cellphone (a Nokia N95), but it didn't worked after a minute. http://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/workoutdetail/index.do?id=569496 (forgive the google maps background, as this GPX is useless for mapping I didn't uploaded it to OSM) But sometimes I run into some problems using my smartphone on a plane. It happened - twice - that the cabin crew didn't allowed me to use the phone, even after explaining it was on the airplane (offline) mode.

On a plane from Paris to Boston, a guy left a GPS gadget on his seat armrest when he went to the loo. (We've all done this, haven't we?) The passengers get scared, they tell the air hostesses, the plane is diverted, the guy's arrested, he spends days in jail and is fined US $32,000! http://timescorrespondents.typepad.com/charles_bremner/2009/08/frenchman-scares-american-airlines-with-pocket-gadget-.html - L ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
