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 71).
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 67 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.
Software Compatibility
Your handset sends location information to your
laptop or other device using the standard National
Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format.
Your handset 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.
