Viewing Your Approximate Location
GPS satellite signals and network assist data, it may
take 30 seconds or more to determine the
approximate location. This time will increase where
there is reduced access to satellite signals. When
your approximate location is determined, it is made
available to the appropriate emergency response
center.
In some cases, your local 911 emergency
response center may not be equipped to receive
GPS location information.For this reason, and
because the GPS location information reported is
only approximate or may not be available in your
location (see “IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in
Mind” on page 69),always report your location to
the 911 operatoryou speak to when making an
emergency call, if able, just as you would when
using a phone without GPS capabilities.
Note:If you are concerned about whether your
local 911 emergency response center is
equipped to receive GPS location
information, contact your local authorities.
In general, if your phone has access to signals from
more GPS satellites, your location will be
determined faster and more accurately than if your
phone has access to signals from fewer GPS
satellites.If your phone does not have adequate access to
GPS satellites signals, the location of the nearest
cell tower in contact with your phone is automatically
made available to the emergency response center, if
the center has the capability to receive such
information.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 72 for
information on how to help your phone determine
your location.
Viewing Your Approximate
Location1From the main menu, selectGPS > Position.
2Scroll to view the entire screen.
This displays the following information about the last
time your location was calculated:
The time (as Greenwich Mean Time) and date
that the location was last calculated
The approximate location, expressed as latitude
and longitude
The estimated accuracy of the calculated
location.Thisestimateofaccuracyisonlyavery
rough estimate and may vary substantially from
the actual accuracy of the approximate location
information reported. 
						

							72GPS Enabled
The number of satellites used to calculate the
location. In general, more satellites make for
better accuracy.
To calculate your location again:
PressAunderRfrsh.
It may take your phone several minutes to complete
the process of determining your location. During this
time, a message usually appears on your phone’s
display saying your phone is scanning for satellites.
For tips on getting the best location calculation, see
“Enhancing GPS Performance”.
ThePositionscreen displays the updated
information.
To cancel a location calculation before it is
completed:
PressAunderCancelto return to thePosition
screen.-or-
Presseto return to the idle screen.
Each time approximate location of your phone is
calculated, the latest location information is stored in
your phone and remains there even when your
phone is powered off. You will see this information
the next time you view thePositionscreen.If you received a phone call or alert while attempting
to determine your location, thePositionscreen will
disappear, but your phone will continue attempting
to determine its location. If it is successful, the new
location information will be displayed the next time
you view thePositionscreen.
Enhancing GPS PerformanceSometimes the GPS feature of your phone may be
unable to complete a location calculation
successfully. If this happens when you are making
an emergency call, the location of the nearest cell
tower in contact with your phone is made available
to the appropriate emergency response center if the
center has the capability to receive such
information. If this happens when you are trying to
view your location on the phone’s display, you will
see a message indicating that your phone cannot
access satellites.

Enhancing GPS Performance
To improve accuracy and increase your chances of
a successful calculation, do the following while your
phone is determining your approximate location:
Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
where there is nothing between your phone and a
large amount of open sky. If possible, go outside,
away from tall buildings and foliage. While
performanceinabuildingisimprovedbymoving
closer to windows, glass with certain sun
shielding films may block satellite signals.
Extend your phone antenna.Hold your phone to enhance reception. Signals
from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS
antenna, which is in your phone antenna. Hold
your phone away from your body, giving the
antenna clear access to satellite signals. Do not
cover the antenna area with your fingers or
anything else.

							74GPS Enabled
Stand still. If possible, stand still until your phone
is finished determining your location. Moving your
phone at a walking pace while your phone is
calculating your approximate location may
substantially decrease GPS performance.
In a car. When using the GPS Enabled feature in
a car, position your phone so that the GPS
antenna has good access to GPS signals through
the car’s windows. Typically, the GPS antenna
has best access to GPS signals in a car when
placed near a window.
Note:Although moving your phone at a walking
pace decreases GPS performance, moving
it at the speed of a moving car does not.
Stay in network coverage. Depending on who
your service provider is, the network will provide
your phone with information that helps determine
your location more quickly and accurately.
Updating Satellite Almanac
DataAnother way to keep the GPS feature of your phone
working well is to keep your satellite almanac data
up to date.
The United States government maintains an
almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as
they orbit the Earth. This information is available to
your phone. Keeping your satellite almanac up to
date helps your phone determine your location more
quickly.
The almanac contains information about the location
of satellites, their operational status, and other
satellite information. Keeping this information
updated enhances the performance of your GPS
feature. In most cases, your phone will be able to
get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with
outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.
Note:When you make an emergency call, your
phone does not rely upon the almanac to
determine your location.
If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your
phone may prompt you to update it. Follow the
instructions that appear on the phone’s display. You
may be asked to go to a web site or call a customer
care number.

provide approximate location data to a laptop
computer or similar device that is running interactive
map software such as that made by DeLorme or
Microsoft. This way, if your phone has good access
to GPS signals, your approximate position on a map
canbemadeavailableasyoutravelinavehicle.
To do this, connect your phone to your laptop (or
other device) with a data cable and set your phone
to transmit data (see “Getting Started” on page 77).
Your phone then provides your approximate location
to the device running the map software, whichdisplays your location on a map. Your phone
provides an updated location every second and the
map software displays your changing location on its
map.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 72 for
more details on obtaining good location information.
Note:Because your phone is continuously
determining your location, using the GPS
feature of your phone with map software
uses the phone’s battery power quickly.
Software CompatibilityYour phone sends location information to your
laptop or other device using the standard National
Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format.
Your phone supports output messages in
NMEA-0183 format and supports the following
NMEA-0183 sentences: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV,
