Note: No serial port connectivity is provided
by your phone. Applications on the host
device which are expecting to receive the
GPS location information via a serial port must

The data sent to the host device is formatted
as prescribed in the National Marine
Electronics Association 0183 V3.0 (NMEA-

unsuitable for conventional marine NMEA-

such as a PC, laptop or PDA with the phone's
highly-capable GPS functionality.
