30 Using Your BlackBerry 9630
Location Settings
Your BlackBerry device is equipped with a Location feature for use in connection with
location-based services that may be available.
Where services are available, the Location feature allows the network to detect your
position. Turning Location off will hide your location from everyone except 911 (where
compatible wireless coverage is available and the emergency response center is equipped
to process such information).
To enable your BlackBerry device’s Location feature:
1. Click Options () > Advanced Options > GPS.
2. Click the option next to GPS Services
.
3. Click Location ON, press , and then click Save.
Note
Turning Location on will allow the network to detect your position using GPS
technology, making some applications and services easier to use. Turning Location
off will disable the GPS location function for all purposes except 911, but will not hide
your general location based on the cell site serving your call. No application or service
may use your location without your request or permission. GPS-enhanced 911 is not
available in all areas.
