[time-nuts] GPS from a window seat

[David McGaw]

The only annoyance on my 60CSx is that it reports a bogus altitude 
presumably based on the cabin pressure.  To know the true altitude, 
one has to go the satellite display and use the menu to get GPS altitude.

Otherwise it works fine in an airplane with a little occasional TLC 
to maintain lock.  It even works in a Hercules IF you have a window seat. :-)
