11.2 Downloading Location Data via QuickGPS
Before using your phone for GPS navigation, open QuickGPS to
download ephemeris data (current satellite position and timing
information). QuickGPS significantly speeds up the time for
determining your GPS position. QuickGPS downloads ephemeris
data from Web servers, instead of from satellites, using your phone’s
Internet connection via Wi-Fi, ActiveSync or GPRS/3G.
Tap Start > Tools > QuickGPS.
Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.
On the QuickGPS screen, initially, you will see the Valid time of the
downloaded data. As time passes, the remaining days and hours of
validity will be shown.
To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest ephemeris data
when the validity of the data expires.
