GPS Navigation

Downloading Satellite Data via QuickGPS

Before you start using your device for GPS navigation, open the QuickGPS program first to download

ephemeris data (current satellite position and timing information) to your device. QuickGPS downloads data

from a Web server using the Internet connection on your device (Wi-Fi, ActiveSync, or data services). This

significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS position.

To open QuickGPS:

䊳 Tap Start > All Programs > QuickGPS.

To download data:

䊳 Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.

You will initially see onscreen the

Valid time of the downloaded data. As time passes, the remaining days and

hours of validity will be shown.

To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest ephemeris data when the validity of the data expires.

Download Options

To configure download times, tap Menu > Options and choose from the available options:

䢇 Remind me when data expires. Enables your device to display a reminder message when the validity of the

ephemeris data has expired. When you see the reminder message, tap

Menu to dismiss the reminder or to

set the snooze time so that you will be reminded again. Tap

OK to open the QuickGPS program and

download the latest data.

䢇 Auto download when data expires. Allows ephemeris data to be automatically updated onto your device when

the data has expired.

䢇 Auto download when connected to PC via ActiveSync. Allows ephemeris data to be automatically downloaded

via ActiveSync to your device when your device is connected to your computer. Your computer must be

connected to the Internet in order to download data.

䢇 Exit QuickGPS after downloading. Closes QuickGPS after satellite data is downloaded.

Using Sprint Navigation

Sprint Navigation™ utilizes GPS positioning technology and access to Sprint’s wireless data network to provide

you with driving directions and a host of other services including:

䢇 GPS navigation that gives you turn-by-turn directions to any destination address in the continental United

States. If you miss a turn or get off track, Sprint Navigation will calculate a new route for you. You can

enter a destination address by using Sprint Navigation’s automatic voice recognition system or by typing

on the your device’s onscreen keypad.

䢇 Audio and visual traffic alerts while driving or viewing maps, as well as traffic rerouting capabilities to

minimize delays.

䢇 Maps of the area around your current location, a marked Favorite, or an address you enter manually or

have previously entered. You can pan the map (adjust left/right/up/down) and zoom in or out.

Note

The data is stored on Web servers. QuickGPS is preconfigured to connect to these servers.
