I know, but I'll only avail myself of the GPS when I'm navigating the streets.

So it's under 100Wh.

The question would be how it's actually labeled and how smart the security guys are. I have a similar size power bank I've taken through Chinese airport security many times, but the Wh capacity is labeled, not just mAh.

Thanks for that info and very good points. Hopefully, security will be too lazy to press the issue and will just let my battery pass. The only question is whether such restrictions exist in other countries, including the United States. I will have to look into that.
