Using GPS with Map Software

You can use the GPS feature of your Smartphone 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 Smartphone 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 Smartphone to your laptop (or other device) with a serial data cable and set your Smartphone to transmit data (see “Getting Started with Map Software” on page 164). Your Smartphone then provides your approximate location to the device running the map software, which displays your location on a map. Your Smartphone provides an updated location every second and the map software displays your changing location on its map.

See “Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 161 for more details on obtaining good location information.

I920, I930 specifications

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.
