I had one of these on board. The coolest thing was that the airplane would bob and weave when I'd turn it on. I just had to be careful to turn it off before the dive became too steep. Once we had regained normal flight posture, I'd turn it back on again for more fun. Half the excitement was the extreme passenger and FA reaction. What a blast!</font>
Same thing here, except only on certain aircraft types. Didn't work on the older ones.

Best to wait until everything is smooth and people are relaxing with their drinks sitting on the tray tables, then push the GPS On button. Loads of fun!!
