A primary reason that handheld/VFR GPS units are not acceptable for
VFR use is that they not not include an integrity capability. That is
essential for IFR ops.


This is like a religion with you people. It's strictly a matter faith
that
use of handheld GPS during IFR enroute flight in US controlled airspace
is
illegal and/or unsafe.

It depends on what you're using it for. A handheld GPS and a ham sandwich
are both useful objects, but using either one for the other's intended
purpose can be dangerous.

If not nutritious.

Most handheld GPS's that I've seen are somewhat lacking in the nutrition
department.
