Using GPS with Map Software
You can use the GPS feature of your handset 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 handset
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 handset to your laptop (or
other device) with a data cable and set your
handset to transmit data (see “Getting Started” on
page 96). Your handset then provides your
approximate location to the device running the map
software, which displays your location on a map.
Your handset provides an updated location every
second and the map software displays your
changing location on its map.
See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 92 for
more details on obtaining good location
information.
Note:
Because your handset is continuously
determining your location, using the GPS
feature of your handset with map software
uses the handset’s battery power quickly.
