Using GPS with Map Software
You 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 either a data cable or Bluetooth
and set your phone to transmit data (see "Getting
Started" on page 103). 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 99 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.
