Updating Satellite Almanac Data
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outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.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If your satellite almanac data is out of date, your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.

							94GPS EnabledSetting Privacy OptionsYour phone’s GPS privacy options control whether
Java applications on your phone or other software
applications may view the location of your
phone.You may set your phone to one of these
GPS privacy options.
Note:Privacy options do not apply to the
transmission of location information
during emergency 911 calls.
To set your GPS privacy options:
1From the main menu, selectGPS > Privacy.
2If your GPS PIN security feature is enabled,
enter your GPS PIN. (See “Setting the GPS PIN
Security Feature” for more information.)
3Select the privacy option you want:
 Restricted— No Java or similar software
applications may view the location of your
phone. However, location information may still
be available to the phone’s owner, fleet
manager, or account administrator.
 Unrestricted— All applications may view the
location of your phone, without notifying you.ByPermission—Whenanapplication
attempts to view the location of your phone,
youwillbepromptedtogivepermission.
However, location information may still be
available to the phone’s owner, fleet manager,
or account administrator.
Setting the GPS PIN Security FeatureTo prevent your GPS privacy settings from being
altered without your knowledge, your GPS privacy
option can be protected by a PIN.
When you receive your phone, the GPS security
feature is turned off, so you do not have to enter a
GPS PIN to access your GPS privacy options. If
you turn this feature on, you will be required to
enter a GPS PIN to access your GPS privacy
options.
To turn the GPS Enabled security feature on or off:
1From the main menu, selectSettings >
Security > GPS PIN.
2SelectOnorOff.
3Enter the current GPS PIN.
Note:When you receive your phone, your GPS
PIN is 0000.
4PressAunderOk.

Using GPS with Map Software
To change your GPS PIN:
1From the main menu, selectSettings >
Security > Change Password > GPS PIN.
2Enter the current GPS PIN.
Note:When you receive your phone, your GPS
PIN is 0000.
3PressAunderOk.
4Enter the new 4- to 8-digit GPS PIN.
5PressAunderOk.
6Enter the new 4- to 8-digit GPS PIN to confirm.
7PressAunderOk.
Using GPS with Map SoftwareYou can use the GPS feature of your phone to
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 can be made available as you
travel in a vehicle.
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 96).
Your phone then provides your approximate
location to the device running the map software,which displays 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 91 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,
RMC, and VTG.
