Thinking about trying it out to follow the route with my Blackberry Curve on a next flight.
I can confirm it is possible. I travel alot on work, & was bored one time & pulled my Garmin Nuvi 200 out of my laptop bag & turned it on. Sure enough it picked up a signal & could show me where we were on the map, give a ground speed etc... It was kinda cool (for like 5 minutes) & then I put it away before anyone said anything to me...
On a side note, they can be fun to use on trains too...
