About GPS technology
Depending on your wireless service provider, this feature might not be supported.
You can use GPS technology on your BlackBerry® device to get your GPS location and to use location-based applications and
location-based services. Location-based applications can use your GPS location to provide you with information such as driving
directions.
If your device does not have an internal GPS receiver or your wireless service provider does not support location-based services
and you want to use GPS technology, you can pair your BlackBerry device with a Bluetooth® enabled GPS receiver. For more
information, contact your wireless service provider.
If your device is connected to a CDMA network and you make an emergency call or your device is in Emergency Callback Mode,
an emergency operator might be able to use GPS technology to estimate your location.
Note: In an emergency, always provide the emergency operator with as much information as possible. Emergency operators
might not be able to estimate your location using only GPS technology.
