The poor thing about had a heart attack though when we flew over the Grand Canyon.
My Magellan is only good up to 35,000 feet and then fritzes out... something about not being able to triangulate its position at that altitude. The simpler hiking one we have though that we only use to mark coordinates kept track of me all the way from Phoenix to Anchorage. It's rather amusing to follow the speed and elevation of the Magellan while riding on a plane... 435mph, 34,000 feet and climbing...
