GPS Testing
You can perform GPS preconnection tests before you connect to the Sprint network. Your card’s GPS receiver must be locked on to at least three orbiting satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement. When it is locked on to four or more satellites, the GPS receiver can determine your 3D position (latitude, longitude, and elevation).
Click the Test GPS button to perform the test. The number of satellites found, your HEPE (horizontal 3D estimated position error), latitude, longitude, and elevation will be shown in the box to the right of this section.
Note:
There are limitations to
Sometimes geomagnetic disturbances in the earth’s atmosphere and sunspots can affect the ability to fix on your position. If you are within Sprint’s coverage area and still cannot connect, such factors may be the cause.
