Wow did you know that for only $20K you can get a GPS that works in an airplane that will tell you where you are at an airport?:rolleyes:

 

This is a really bad blog post at wired.com and I had to share it with the community.

My favorite quote 'Pilots hear audible alerts when they approach and enter taxiways and runways, maybe something like "hey handsome, you've arrived at taxiway 31L'

 

WHOA: If you are using a taxiway with numbers 31L on it, you are in big trouble.
