GPS and NMEA enabled. In this state, GPS data is received by the Sprint SmartView application and data is shared with third-party GPS applications.

Additionally, NMEA will be enabled automatically when you launch an application using the GPS Applications Menu.

Shutting Off GPS Entirely

If you wish to disable GPS entirely, check the Disable GPS on Device field on the Location/GPS settings tab. (See “Disable GPS on Device” on page 98.) This disables GPS and removes all GPS-related items from Sprint SmartView’s user interface.

The GPS Search Menu

If your device contains a GPS receiver, you can use the GPS Search menu to search for the nearest restaurants, gas stations, and other amenities. This pull-down menu appears on the bottom of the main window, just to the right of the Application Launch menu.

To perform a search:

1.Specify the type of location to search for by doing one of the following:

Pull down the menu to select one of the predefined searches (see below).

Type what you are looking for in the field at the top of the menu. (Sprint SmartView will search for the nearest examples of whatever you typed and then add this search to the menu.)

2.Click Find.

Note: As custom searches are added, the list can potentially become quite long. Items can be removed from the list using the window that appears when you click Configure GPS Applications in the Location/GPS tab of the settings window.

Predefined Searches
