Can you take a GPS unit through security checkpoint onto a commerical plane?
February 27th, 2010 | by admin |I am flying out of MCI or Kansas City International and I was just curious if I could take my GPS thing on with me as a carryon so that I can track the speed and where we are at an exact moment. I’m just big on speed and it would be fun as opposed to staring outside the window for 3 hours. Also could I take digital pictures with my camera if something seems interesting to do so? Thanks!
yes …..you can take it on the plane with you…but it will not work while you are on the plane…a GPS calculates from the ground to satellites it won’t work in the air…you would need an aviation GPS for you to be able to do that on the plane and I’m not sure you would even be allowed to use it…it might be like your cell phone it will have to remain off
and yes you can take pictures with your camera…i have several times and nothing was ever said to me
hope this helps
