10.3 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.
1. Tap
Start > QuickGPS, or from the Home
screen, slide to the Programs tab and then tap
All Programs > QuickGPS.
2. Tap
Download on the QuickGPS screen.
On the screen, initially, you will see the
Valid time of
the downloaded data. As time passes, the remaining

To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest
ephemeris data when the validity of the data expires.
