Question Can we carry our portable GPS on the plane (going from LAX to ORD)? We need
to use it in the rental car to get from the airport in Chicago to our destination.
Answer Happy Holidays Kay,
Electronic devices are permitted in your carry-on, so yes you can carry a GPS with you in your carry-on luggage.
Remember, at airport security checkpoint: DVD and video game consoles need to be taken out of their cases to be screened alone.
