Too bad they make you turn your gps off during the last few minutes of the flight. My little hand held garmin can pick up enough satellites to get a position if I hold it right up to the window of the aircaft. I was pretty amazed that it actually worked when I tried it on my last flight. Next time I'll have to find a laptop and plug it into the serial port and watch where I am with "Atlas". :-) Or if we could get that data to drive a DCS aircraft in FlightGear I could escort myself in the A4 ... until I ran out of fuel that is.
