GPS Tracking of two consecutive international flights by Sony GPS-CS3. The first flight is from Istanbul to Amsterdam via KLM on April 24, 2010 and the second one is from Amsterdam to Portland, Oregon on the same day via Delta Airlines. As long as the GPS unit is close to the window, it is possible to receive sufficient GPS signals (mostly two bars). However, there are intermittent loss of GPS tracking without any apparent reasons. Also, battery life is a concern for long flights as changing batteries dramatically affects the re-connection to the GPS signals while on the move. I recommend to get connected to the GPS satellites before or during taxiing as well as utilizing a long-life battery.
