[Carterofmars]

Song by?

[nrhoden11]

1:42 the great speed up :D

[nrhoden11]

imagine if u went 502 mph on the ground O_o

[JustinCase380]

If you want to estimate your arrival time remember to put it in pedestrian mode otherwise the Garmin wants to put you on a road.

[helobelow]

Cool. I take my Garmin in the heli with me and I can only remember a GS of about 145 with a tailwind once...lol!

[ElPajaroMexicano]

cool i wish my car would fly when id go relatively 150+ mph lol!!!!

[malanga13]

man that is cool, all my life i've wanted to do that with my car gps also like many others here! I couldn't get my eyes off of it!

Id Soneone Asks What Is This Song, Its 02-Utilization by Chris Howard

[jasonbucy]

ha i love how your max speed before the flight was 91mph. what car do you drive?

[Greenwinkle]

Brilliant Vid, tnks for sharing.

[milan8090]

great vid.. my nuvi 205 couldn't find satelites in airplane, but etrexH could, max speed was 769 km/h and altitude 8800m

[gpsnavigators]

From a wired in fan...

[puppetrocks]

hi #lol

[xjyamaha]

Haha, I was on a southwest flight to Phoenix and decided to bring the GPS for some reason. Clocked it at exactly 550mph.

[mmc642]

Cool Video, I've always wanted to do this with my car GPS, just never have. The reason your altitude varied after about 10,000 feet is because traditional aircraft altimeters work off air pressure. Since air pressure changes over distances, altimeters are set to a standard atmospheric pressure setting of 29.92"hg while in Class A airspace.

[amiga2000]

@mmc642 Nice explanation. Thanks! Are you a pilot yourself?

[tjernagel]

GPS is used in aircraft around the world. Not an issue.  Cool video.

[Thepylot78]

Love it...and thanks for introducing me to Tom Geiger! Can One Day Change Your Life...awesome song.

[PadliParizan]

That is an excellent idea! Great vid!

[qHighFlyerp]

Metric system is better, more accurate

[hugos31]

amiga este gps puede medir la vlelocidad en km/h? tiene con lenguaje en español? cual es el tema musical de fondo? saludos desde Peru

[Thepylot78]

@hugos31 Onlineconversion(dot com), convert velocities (mph to km/h). :-) Music is Tom Geiger "Can One Day Change Your Life"

[free2rhyme29100]

I DIDNT KNOW YOU CAN HAVE THOSE GPS ON A PLANE...IS THAT SAFE TO REALLY USE WHILE ON A FLIGHT????

[amiga2000]

@free2rhyme29100 So GPS receivers are called receivers because they don't transmit. I'm sure there are a gazillion articles out there on the intertubes but GPS receivers just get time information from known points in space (figuratively and actually).

[free2rhyme29100]

@amiga2000 THANKS.. :)

[rckint]

@free2rhyme29100

I used my Garmin Nuvi 260 GPS on a commercial flight as a passenger from Davao City Philippines to Manila Philippines. The unit recorded the speed and displayed the places we were flying over.

I had to sit by the window to keep satellite reception.

[rckint]

@free2rhyme29100

The one hour and 30 minutes flight on board the AIRBUS 320 from Davao City, Philippines to Manila, Philippines displayed the cities and towns below.

[AndrewMC6]

@free2rhyme29100 Calm yourself, the pilots are using GPS, already proving that there is no harm done by GPS.

[Levanister]

lol great video :>

[blkpylut]

THAT WAS AWESOMEEE!!!!!

[ChaseThatTornado67]

awesome speed bro! imagine the 500+ winds and the bone chilling (-40F) degree temps #LOL

[amiga2000]

@ChaseThatTornado67 Actually that would be a really great video to see... someone doing this with the nuvi OUTSIDE of the plane. If you find that video, post the link here man!

[Masoud5991]

Great idea though!!

[simsfan2183]

ummmm i should try to with my GPS... i got the same one

[jcostabal]

Can you install the "aeria" software into a "nuvi"?

[swa5575]

Where's the Pink route Line? ;) jkjk haha

[mickblock]

LOL what a cool thing to do!

[ebrown405]

I think the music is by Tom Geiger - NightClubber. I googled it. :)

[ebrown405]

I liked the video because it was interesting and I liked the music too which made all the difference. Thanks for sharing.

[ranjoy]

Cool video. It began at AAR Aircraft Services at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City. I worked Line Service there from 1986 to 2001.

[mark1simon]

jus got rid of a garmin nuvi 465t it was fckin shite replaced it with a tomtom 750live

which is great

[danboy72972]

Great video. Great music!

[redgrappler]

Cool vid, because I have too much time on my hands, I took the liberty of finding where you were....Arkansas :)

[GangreneVagina]

Edit this video. Its length is absurd.

[NothingSound]

@GangreneVagina ~ No one is forcing you to watch it.

[Kemalist36]

nice video

[timzp]

What a beautiful video. Thanks.

[flyromeo3]

amiga, this is an excellent video. Very intriguing

[flyromeo3]

looks like M.I.A

[markchern]

ha... ha... ha... very interesting video, thanks!

[mipebar]

thanks 269giovannni :)

[mipebar]

which is this song plz?

[lavalleer]

nice video i like it.........

[mykallb]

Well done video. It would be interesting to see if the 265WT works on a commercial flight, especially trans Atlantic or the like, you'd be able to see exactly where you're at.

[amiga2000]

I fully intend on doing that next week on a 4.5 hour flight although it will not be over an ocean. However, I won't likely be able to leave the thing on during take off or landing.

[mykallb]

Can you grab a vid of that one too? Really like the late afternoon shots out the window of the runway.

BTW, where did you get the triangle for your vehicle? Did you get an extras pack? My 265WT came with just two blue vehicles.

Thanks

[amiga2000]

Will try to get footage on one of the flights.

Regarding the triangle as a vehicle... I remember doing the obligatory updates after the purchase but don't remember specifically getting the triangle vehicle. I remember selecting it after the updates as i went along setting preferences though.

[amiga2000]

Got the video posted. it's listed as a video response to this one. Not sure what type of commercial jet it was though...

[istargazer]

@mykallb I can't see why not. I took my Garmin 750 on an overseas flight and while I needed to next to the window to pick up a signal, the Garmin was able to record a speed of over 1000+ mph.

[jonvagnier]

@istargazer good luck trying to explain that to anyone who calls out your bullshit

[istargazer]

@jonvagnier You're right of course. Thanks for noticing the mistake. We measure in metric up here so it was actually only 1046 KM/H or about 650 mph. Youtube doesn't let me post URLs but here's the address of the screen shot: bit.ly / 9RTLM4 (just remove the spaces around the forward slash.

[jonvagnier]

@istargazer there we go, sorry for being a douche

[jmdowdy]

OKC Will Rogers in the house!

[AlexisS1985]

Very nice, i  also tried my Nuvi couple of years ago.

But its more funny to ad destinations. Re- routing every sec :)
