Using GPS with Map Software

You can use the GPS feature of your handset to provide approximate location data to a laptop computer or similar device that is running interactive map software such as that made by DeLorme or Microsoft. This way, if your handset has good access to GPS signals, your approximate position on a map can be made available as you travel in a vehicle.

To do this, connect your handset to your laptop (or other device) with a data cable and set your handset to transmit data (see “Getting Started” on page 81). Your handset then provides your approximate location to the device running the map software, which displays your location on a map. Your handset provides an updated location every second and the map software displays your changing location on its map.

See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 77 for more details on obtaining good location information.

Note: Because your handset is continuously determining your location, using the GPS feature of your handset with map software uses the handset’s battery power quickly.

Software Compatibility

Your handset sends location information to your laptop or other device using the standard National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) format. Your handset 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.
