Requirements for GPS Service
The following conditions must be met to access GPS services with the Sprint SmartView
software:
● You must be using a Sprint Mobile Broadband device containing a GPS receiver.
GPS receivers in mobile phones are not currently supported.
● You must have a valid Sprint Mobile Broadband subscription.
● You must agree to the privacy agreements that appear when you attempt to access
Sprint SmartView’s GPS functions.
● GPS must be enabled. (See “Enabling and Disabling GPS” on page 53 for more
information.)
● Some additional configuration may be required in order to use third-party GPS
software. (See
“Working With Third-Party GPS Applications” on page 57 for more
information.)
However, GPS services will not be available if any of the following are true:
● Your device only supports CDMA EVDO mode.
● You are using a dual-mode CDMA/WiMAX device and that device is currently
connected to a WiMAX network.
● You are currently indoors. GPS receivers must be able to lock onto the global
positioning satellites to accurately determine position. The number of obstructions
present indoors often makes accurate position determination impossible.
