28 Using Your BlackBerry® 8830
Location Settings – Domestic (U.S.) Only
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 phone’s Location feature:
1. Click Options () > Advanced Options > GPS.
2. Select GPS Services, press , and click Change Option
.
3. Click Location ON, press , and then click Save.
When the Location feature is on, the Home screen will display the icon.
When Location is turned off, the icon will be displayed.
Note:
Turning Location on will allow the network to detect your position using GPS
technology, making some Sprint 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.
GPS Location services are not available when roaming internationally.
