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.
