Start which ever GPS navigation software you are using BEFORE entering FLIGHT MODE.
I have the same issue with the Omnia as my car uses rSAP to communicate with the phone and turns the Flight Mode on. However, I found that if you try to use the GPS with the phone in Flight Mode it does not always operate (or at least takes an age to find the satelites), but if you start the GPS app before you go to Flight Mode there does not seem to be an issue. Worked for me!

using GPS inside a flying airplane is illegal, so just be careful.

QUOTE(Massive Attack @ Oct 12 2008, 12:21) using GPS inside a flying airplane is illegal, so just be careful. Its no more illegal than using a laptop. Its allowed during cruise phase of flight. GPS is a passive system, its not transmitting anything. Though all civilian GPS receivers have restriction on max altitude and speed, so it most likely won't work anyway (on cruise phase at least, and on takeoff/landings they require you to turn off all electronic devices).

I suggest you switch idiot mode on.
"I am not using GPS (receiver), I am just using google maps in my PDA"  Though they can switch idiot mode on too "You are using the cellphone, and using cell phones are forbidden during any stage of flight" This post has been edited by Ingvarr: Oct 12 2008, 10:38 |

There is nothing to be "careful" about. You are doing nothing criminal or dangerous. If they will forbid it - well, ok than. If you want to, you can argue, if you don't - just turn it off.

I work in a remote location where there's no phone signal at all (remote Australia). There's times I'd like to use GPS while keeping flight mode on (why have the phone 'on' when there's no signal). So thanks mjed2006 for the heads up on turning on the phone, starting GPS, then switch back to flight mode. While on the subject of airline travel, you're allowed to use bluetooth A2DP sets for music while flying right? Just need to turn off on takeoff and landing? Cheers |

Do you really know the abbreviations EMC? I guess that NO.  Electromagnetic Compatibility. Search for it passive system... Yes it is, if your GPS is a stone.

It's hard to explain
 but you can consider wikipedia as a very short introduction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_compatibility The laws considers all of these effects as possible interferences. This post has been edited by eRoS08: Oct 12 2008, 13:22 |
