The enhanced Local Search feature uses LBS and allows you to search for Sprint stores,
restaurants, banks, hotels, or other points of interest. (For more information, see “Performing a
Location Search” on page 60.)
How Do I Use the Enhanced Local Search Feature?
See “Performing a Location Search” on page 60.
Where Can I Use GPS?
GPS works wherever you have line-of-sight access to the GPS satellites.
How Do I Enable or Disable GPS?
By default, Sprint Location Services are disabled. To enable Sprint Location Services, see
“Enabling GPS” on page 59.
Location-Based Services Limitations
Weather conditions may affect your ability to get a clear view of the satellites and thus to acquire a
GPS fix.
How Can I Stream GPS Data to Use With a Third-party GPS Application?
1. Install the device driver. (See “Making a Tethered Connection” on page 29.)
2. Set GPS Mode (in Advanced settings > WAN > GPS) to Continuous.
3. Determine the COM port number that your Sierra Wireless device (that is, your Overdrive Pro
3G/4G Mobile Hotspot) is using.
In the following example for Windows, the Device Manager
shows that COM 18 is used. In
your case, the COM port number might be different.
(If you don't know how to access the Device Manager, see 
http://sierrawireless.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/698.)
4. Configure your GPS application to use the same COM port. For help, see the documentation
of the GPS application.
