GPS (BlackBerry® Curve™ 8320™)
What is GPS?
Global Positioning System (GPS) technology uses satellite communication to determine your current geographic location. When GPS is active, the built-in BlackBerry® Maps application displays your current location on an interactive map that moves when you do.
NOTE: The BlackBerry® Curve™ 8320™ does not contain an embedded GPS radio. In order to use a GPS mapping application on this device, you will need to obtain a separate GPS puck and connect it to your BlackBerry® via Bluetooth®.* For information about pairing your BlackBerry® with a GPS device via Bluetooth, go to Bluetooth® (BlackBerry® Curve™ 8320™).
