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.
