Anybody know if I send a GPS unit through the airport X-ray machine will it have any ill affects on it? Taking a trip to Phoenix, flying down and driving back, in a U-haul, it just sound so appealing.

I do not know why it would affect it. My cheapo Garmin and my high end (at the time) flight one have been through a few times with no ill effects.

I would say put it in your carry on if you are really worried about it. That way you can have it out, like a camera or laptop.
Have a safe trip!!

double check everything on the U-haul... I worked there for a while and man some of their trucks aren't junk yard worthy... so make sure they get you a good one!!! Have a good trip and bring back some warm weather!!!

It won't hurt it. The only things that they hurt are 800 speed or higher film and pacemakers.

Thank for the info, just wasn't sure how well they played together.
I'll give the truck a good look over too, thank for the tip.
