GPS (non-assisted, or stand-alone) gets its location data from satellites orbiting above the earth. When you first turn on the GPS function, there will be a delay while the GPS device searches for satellites. The wait time is exacerbated by poor signal conditions, such as when you're surrounded by tall buildings, you're indoors, or you're under trees. In addition, when first turned on in these conditions, some non-assisted GPS units may not be able to download the almanac and ephemeris information from the GPS satellites, rendering them unable to function until a clear signal can be received continuously for up to one minute. ) H! h# O/ A/ y ^
2 g# k( b, k# J2 cA-GPS gets its location data from nearby cellular towers, who in turn get their data from a constant connection to GPS satellites. The towers keep track of satellites in range, so your phone can ping the tower and know which satellites to try to connect to, speeding up the process greatly. ( h, G' |6 |& N- _& B

GPS vs. A-GPS on the Treo 800w+ N2 e* w9 J: t7 s& t
Treo 800w supports stand-alone GPS and A-GPS. Stand-alone GPS is used when the cellular radio is off or the device is not connected to the cellular network. . E- L# l: Y: U M+ ~

A-GPS
, U6 l; S2 n/ }( H0 H8 V: EFor optimal performance, the use of A-GPS is recommended because it significantly reduces the time to get the location fix. This requires data connection to cellular network, so your smartphone must be on and connected, and you must be subscribed to a data plan from your mobile service provider.

However, users must subscribe to and use Sprint Navigation for turn-by-turn directions and audible directions. To launch Sprint Navigation, select Drive to… in the Maps application, or select Sprint Navigation in the Programs folder (Start , then Programs).

Real-time maps: The maps for your location are downloaded real-time to your smartphone. The GPS search bar on the Today screen, the Maps application in the Programs folder (Start , then Programs), and applications such as Live Search for Windows Mobile behave in this way. To download the maps in real time, a data connection is needed. Since the cellular radio is off, you can use Wi-Fi to download the maps; the exact compatibility and the speed of download will vary greatly in this case.
0 b: f+ X" W2 V" k5 { t0 r* }On-device maps: The alternative is to store the maps locally on your smartphone. You can do this by adding a third-party application such as Garmin to your device, and storing Garmin's maps on an expansion card. In this scenario, you can use stand-alone GPS to get the device location, and the third-party maps on your SD card to display your location on the screen. No data connection – Wi-Fi or cellular – is necessary. & @7 _: O1 T) P. k
