I've had mixed success... it can depend on so many factors, so some days you'll have minimal trouble, others you'll have little joy.

Forget it if you're not in a window seat and as Grahame says, one of the many factors is crew tolerance of your device. It's certainly easier with a PocketPC type device rather than a hand-held GPS, especially if you have a PDA with integrated GPS... though it my case it may just be because my handheld GPS is an eTrex Legend that's a bit too easy to confuse for an old mobile phone if you don't look closely... whereas my PDA is an iPAQ Travel Companion and never an issue.

A data logger unit hooked up to a GPS might cause a bit of interest, unless it's an all-in-one GPS receiver and logger.
