Flight location on map

[AnnDroid]

I would like an app that would track exactly were I am while on a flight and have a detailed map so I could ID what's below. I love looking out the window on flights, 40 years and it's still beautiful to me. It's frustrating seeing a lake, mountains or a canyon and I have no idea what the names are. I've seen a few apps that have maps, but they don't appear to get any more details than showing half a State below.
Also, I haven't flown in a three years now, never with a device with gps. Can I have gps activated while on a flight? I used to use my phone and it's mp3 player on a flight, just activated Flight Mode. Is this still okay to do?

Nope, no phones or gps is allowed. At least they were not last month. Besides, you can't get a good gps lock through the planes body, anyway. I know, I tried.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!

You easily can have a variety of maps in flight with the phone in Airplane Mode (no TX/RX, just display) using the free RMaps or OruxMaps apps pre-loaded with your route's maps. I've been checking such apps out as a pilot (see this thread), but they'd work quite well for this purpose too. If you have any questions, ask in that thread because I probably won't visit this one again (was looking for anything relevant to general aviation).
