32 Using Your BlackBerry 9650
Location Settings
Your BlackBerry device is equipped with a Location feature for use in connection with
location-based services that may be available.
Where services are available, the Location feature allows the network to detect your position.
Turning Location off will hide your location from everyone except 911 (where compatible
wireless coverage is available and the emergency response center is equipped to process
such information). However, successful determination of your location by the emergency
response center is not guaranteed.
To enable your BlackBerry device’s Location feature:
1. Click Options () > Advanced Options > GPS.
2. Click OK to continue.
3. Click the option next to GPS Services
.
4. Click Location ON, press , and then click Save.
Note: Turning Location on will allow the network to detect your position using GPS technology, making
some applications and services easier to use. Turning Location off will disable the GPS location
function for all purposes except 911, but will not hide your general location based on the cell site
serving your call. No application or service may use your location without your request or permission.
GPS-enhanced 911 is not available in all areas.
