98 Section 3E: Frequently Asked Questions (Windows)
What GPS mode options are supported?
GPS on a Sprint data card works like any other GPS device. Sprint provides two
types of GPS mode: GPS Basic, and GPS Premium.
For more information, see “What is GPS Basic?” and “What is GPS Premium?” on
page 98.
What is GPS Basic?
Sprint GPS Basic supports GPS outdoors. Your card requires an unobstructed view
of GPS satellites (in the sky), and, like any other GPS device, might not perform
well within forested areas or near tall buildings.
Sprint GPS Basic is based on GPSOne™ standards and uses Location-Based Services
for the first, fast, GPS fix. GPS coordinate values are made available to applications
via a local GPS NMEA Com port.
See also “What is NMEA?” on page99 and “What is the difference between GPS
Basic and GPS Premium?” on page98.
What is GPS Premium?
GPS Premium supports GPS outdoors (as does GPS Basic) and additionally indoors
(where no GPS satellites are available).
To use GPS Premium, you need a GPS subscription.
What is the difference between GPS Basic and GPS Premium?
GPS Basic is for outdoor use — similar to the capability of a regular GPS device.
GPS Premium is an enhanced GPS capability that allows GPS to be used indoors
and outdoors. To use GPS Premium, you need a GPS subscription.
Note: SprintLocation Services may not be supported if Network Mode is set to 1xEV-DO Only
or (subject to change) if you are roaming. To use SprintLocation Services, ensure
NetworkMode is set to Automatic or 1X Only, and ensure that you are in the network
coverage area (not roaming).
Note: At the time of this software release, this GPS mode option is not yet available.
