You only really need to do it for take of and landing.

But you still don't have data or GPS or anything and a lot of flights don't have wifi so pretty useless unless you have offline games or downloaded shows/movies/audiobooks.

    You have GPS, it literally only receives so it can't affect flight instruments.

    Idk I've never been able to get GPS on my phone to work on a plane always. I think consumer devices have it disabled over certain speeds/altitudes so people can't make home made rockets and shit.

    While that is true, commercial flights aren't going over those limits (they're to prevent ICBMs). I used it on my last flight without issue and could see how close to my destination I was, how high the plane was and how fast we were going.
