Group, This has been a most enlightening discussion. Thank you all for participating.
Finally found the right words to use with Google (ban gps flight) to get a list. See Joe Mehaffey's list of airlines at http://gpsinformation.net/airgps/airgps.htm The list of airlines that allow GPS have the caveat that the Captain has the final decision. What I've learned from Joe and others is that there are not enough technically savvy people to make such technical decisions. You will not always get a competent decision. But once it is a decision, you must live with it or live with various law enforcement people. If a flight attendant says No, try asking to speak to the Captain, but not when the flight deck is busy. As to interference with other GPS receivers, my son runs a deep-sea fishing party boat out of Ocean City, MD. He is famous for knowing where the fish will be. There may be 5 to 20 people on a 50' fiberglass boat using GPS units to log his fishing spots. He'd be delighted if those receivers interfered with each other. He sees no interference with his GPS navigation system.
