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 a data cable and set your phone to transmit data
(see “To connect your phone to your laptop or other device:”
on page 152). 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 149 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.
