Viewing Your Approximate Location

You can calculate your approximate location, which is automatically saved in your phone for you to view again later. The next time you calculate your approximate location, the new location replaces the old one.

Calculate your approximate location

1From the Home screen, select Start.

2Select Accessories and then GPS Location.

3Select Refresh.

It may take your Smartphone several minutes to complete the process of determining your location. During this time, a message usually appears on your Smartphone’s display saying your Smartphone is scanning for satellites. For tips on getting the best location calculation, see “Enhancing GPS Performance”.

After your approximate location is calculated, the Smartphone displays the following information:

•The approximate location, expressed as latitude and longitude

•The estimated accuracy of the calculated location. This estimate of accuracy is only a very rough estimate and may vary substantially from the actual accuracy of the approximate location information reported.

•The number of satellites used to calculate the location. In general, more satellites make for better accuracy.

•The time (as Greenwich Mean Time) and date that the location was last calculated

Each time approximate location of your Smartphone is calculated, the latest location information is stored in your Smartphone and remains there even when your Smartphone is powered off. You will see this information the next time you go to the GPS Location screen.

If you received a phone call or alert while attempting to determine your location, the GPS Location screen will disappear, but your Smartphone will continue attempting to determine its location. If it is successful, the new location information will be displayed the next time you view the GPS Location screen.

Nextel Communications, once a major player in the wireless telecom industry, introduced a range of innovative devices that catered to the needs of both personal and business users. Among them, the Nextel i930 and i920 stand out as significant models that combined features of traditional mobile phones with push-to-talk (PTT) capabilities.

The Nextel i930 was released as a flip phone, boasting a sleek design that appealed to style-conscious consumers. One of its standout features was the integrated PTT functionality, allowing users to connect instantly with others on their network. This feature was particularly popular among business users who valued quick communication over traditional voice calls. The i930 supported a wide range of Nextel services, including Direct Connect, which enabled users to reach others with just a push of a button, making it an invaluable tool for teams on the move.

On the other hand, the Nextel i920 catered to a similar demographic but in a slightly different form factor. This model featured a candy-bar design, providing a more compact option for those who preferred a straightforward layout. Both devices were equipped with a robust set of features, including a color display, camera capabilities, and various multimedia functions. The i920 also supported messaging services, allowing users to send and receive text messages, thus enhancing its versatility.

In terms of technology, both phones operated on the iDEN network, known for its reliability and extensive coverage at the time. The iDEN technology blended digital voice and data, allowing for seamless communication and efficient use of bandwidth. Users could enjoy enhanced voice clarity and an unparalleled connection quality, making it a preferred choice for those in remote areas.

Battery life was another critical characteristic of both models. The i930 and i920 were designed to provide long-lasting power, enabling users to stay connected throughout their busy days without frequent recharging. Additionally, these devices featured rugged designs suitable for various work environments, aligning with Nextel's image as a provider for professionals in demanding fields.

In summary, the Nextel i930 and i920 encapsulated the essence of Nextel's commitment to blending functionality with style. Their PTT capabilities revolutionized communication methods for many, while their durable designs and robust feature sets solidified their status as essential tools for professionals. Even today, these devices serve as reminders of a time when instantaneous communication was becoming increasingly vital in both personal and professional spheres.
