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 102). 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 98 for more details on obtaining
good location information.
NOTE: Because your phone is continuously determining your location,
using your phone’s GPS feature with map software uses your
phone’s battery power quickly.
Software Compatibility
Your 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.
The map software running on your laptop or other device must support
NMEA 3.0.
