Mobile-Originated vs. Network-Originated GPS

GPS queries can be originated either by your device or by the Sprint network.

●Mobile-originated queries are generated when you use software on your computer or on your device to retrieve location data. Applications in this class include any mapping and navigation software that can be installed on your computer.

●Network-originated queries are generated when the Sprint network needs to locate your device. This is the method that is used when your device needs to be located in an emergency. However, it is also possible for applications to use this method to obtain the position of your device from the Sprint location server.

Privacy Concerns for Network-Originated GPS

Since network-originated queries are initiated by the network rather than by you, no additional configuration is needed to use this feature. However, if you are not comfortable with Sprint being able to track your device’s location, you can enable “privacy mode” to block network-originated GPS queries. Under privacy mode, both mobile-originated and network-originated queries are disabled. So, when you are not actively using GPS, you can disable it if you wish to avoid the possibility of being tracked. (See “Enabling and Disabling GPS” on page 53 for instructions.)

At any given time, you can determine whether privacy mode is on by looking at the Privacy Indicator icon near the upper right corner of the main user interface. It has three states:

Privacy on/GPS disabled. You cannot be tracked using GPS, nor can you use other GPS functions.

Privacy off/GPS enabled. GPS is currently enabled and the network can use it to locate you.

No GPS device (Privacy on). The privacy icon does not appear if no GPS-capable mobile broadband device is currently attached to your computer. It also does not

(no icon) appear if you have checked Disable GPS on Device on the Location/GPS settings tab. In either of these cases, GPS is disabled for the entire Sprint SmartView application.
