Re: Using GPS abroad?
You just need software with maps for where you are going (i.e. igo8 ). The GPS will work fine with software like that.

Re: Using GPS abroad?
Yes, I know that much, but I think the default is the GPS will use the assistance of the network to get GPS coordinates. This assisted GPS is good when you have service because it allows for more accurate location based services. That wouldn't be available when travelling in other countries so I was wondering if the there's a way to change the GPS coordinate grab to standalone only so it doesn't have to rely on a network.

Re: Using GPS abroad?
So how is the Sprint TP which is CDMA going to get network-assisted GPS info when there is no CDMA service in Europe?
It will work like a standalone GPS but no aGPS. |

Re: Using GPS abroad?
When I attempted to use my Mogul in Europe it would not lock onto a GPS signal. I assume they are using the same family of GPS processors?

Re: Using GPS abroad?
It will work when you have no service (turn off your phone radio and try it), albeit it will take much longer to lock on...
