So your GPS chip was likely emitting a - very low - signal. Since the frequency depends on the receiver architecture, there's no way to conclusively know that *all* receivers are safe to use in aircraft. That's the reason for the blanket prohibition of transmitters *and* receivers. As to the EU regulation, if I remember correctly it is only supposed to be used with microcells installed on the plane which signal the mobile to transmit at its lowest setting. Plus, the frequencies are known/tested with the relevant avionics before they are allowed to be used on board. So, Al, technically speaking, the Feds might want to have a word with you (not that I'd expect that to happen). Radio receivers also emit, or “leak”, radio frequencies.

Oh, you Americans are such slaves to authorities, even when they're wrong ... Over here in Europe, nobody cares for what the crew says about electronic devices. We just use them, 'cause we know it don't bother the plane. For example, what should a GPS-receiving device with flight mode on ever harm? Even the plane you were sitting in receives GPS signals, so what? The European Union recently even cleared the way for normal mobile phone usage in planes, e.g. data and calls. If you want to see a lot of flights on sportstracker, set the workout type to flying and search for everybody, you'll find a whole lot of people doing this from start to landing :-) You seriously turned it off when the pilot said to turn off all electronic devices?

It seemed that whenever the plane changes altitude the connection gets lost and that the best thing about it is taking pictures and geotagging them, also it's nice to see the planes speed and aprroximate time till destination on your N82 (assumming you geotagged JFK's location.
