See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 79 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.

Software Compatibility

Your phone sends location information to your laptop or other device using the standard National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format. Your phone supports output messages in NMEA-0183 format and supports the following NMEA-0183 sentences: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV, RMC, and VTG.

The map software running on your laptop or other device must support NMEA 3.0.
