Better than the in-flight movie...

 

I just returned to Minneapolis, MN from a trip to Reno, NV. The flight out there goes through Houston on one of America's airlines, due to their hub. I took my Garmin 200W with me in my carry-on. On the second leg of my flight I took the Nüvi out once we reached cruising altitude and was treated to a great in-flight pastime.

I selected the snowboarder from the Garmin Garage vehicles installed on my Nüvi and watched the little guy snowboard over Odessa, Texas at 470 MPH (756 KPH).

Coming back to Minneapolis from Houston I had the pizza wedge flying over Shreveport at 517 MPH at a cruising altitude of 26,500 feet (8077 Metres).

I'll be sure to download Garmin Man or Maposaurus for the next time I fly.

Great fun.

Thought that we members of POI Factory were going to boycott the pizza wedge in support of our fellow-member PaulATL??

Unless you're a pizza delivery person, there is no good reason to support the slice!!

We need to stick together here at the factory! grin

No Pizza

There's no pizza on my nuvi!!!

Just be-careful, lots of flight crews don't take very kind to the person with a GPSr stuck to the window! You might want to ask if it's OK as you enter the plane.
