2. Read and accept the Privacy Consent Agreement.
To stop NMEA output, you have several options:
䢇 In the GPS Receiver window, click Stop.
䢇 In the Mobile Broadband window, click Stop.
䢇 Exit Sprint Connection Manager.
䢇 If you have started the GPS application before you started NMEA output: exit
the GPS application.
How do I configure my NMEA port?
At the time of this software release, you cannot specify which port Windows uses
for NMEA output. Windows automatically uses the next available port.
You can, however, configure the GPS application to use the NMEA Com port that
Windows is using (page 99).
Other Questions
Once I connect to the network, how do I access my corporate
network through a VPN?
Once you complete a wireless connection, you may need to launch an extranet
client provided by your company and supply the appropriate user name and
password to gain access. For support, contact your company help desk.
Note:
To ensure the best data performance of your card, it’s recommended that you not
activate the NMEA stream unless you are going to use it.
Tip:
You can turn off the display of the NMEA Privacy Consent Agreement (from the
Sprint Location Services “Settings” window).
You can also set your card to start an NMEA output stream whenever the card
connects to the network (
Auto Start GPS on connect; page 84).
