Does the FAA have a set of regs written for a sextant? They do for the GPS.

But do they have regs regarding handheld GPS units? There may be TSOs
and other stuff for panel mounts, but that has nothing to do with
handhelds. Just because both have the term "GPS" in the name doesn't
connect them in a regulatory sense. You might as well call your
handheld an "automatic sextant". Then is it okay to use while IFR? I
bet there are no regs for those.
