I noticed that the Bass Weekend Series bans co-anglers from bringing along a handheld gps.

When I fished BFL and Stren as a Co, I always brought along my handheld to use for a map reference in the back of the boat or, when rarely asked for spot advice, as a source of information.

I never turned it on without asking the boater if he was comfortable with it and never set waypoints and always had "track off".

Has FLW banned handhelds for co's?
