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. :-)

I've done this with two separate GPS units. One was a basic unit with
no maps - more designed for bushwalking, boating and other direct
navigation. It worked really well.
Just recently (a few days ago) flying to Perth I used my car-designed
Navman. It locked easily and I chuckled as it rapidly swept across
roads and intersection on the ground at 777 km/hr telling me "Go to
nearest road".
