> Using Sprint Navigation

> Sprint Navigation™ utilizes GPS positioning technology and access to Sprint’s wireless data network to provide you with driving directions and a host of other services including:

> | GPS navigation that gives you turn-by-turn directions to any destination address in the continental United States. If you miss a turn or get off track, Sprint Navigation will calculate a new route for you. You can enter a destination address by using Sprint Navigation’s automatic voice recognition system or by typing on the your device’s onscreen keypad.

> | Audio and visual traffic alerts while driving or viewing maps, as well as traffic rerouting capabilities to minimize delays.

> | Maps of the area around your current location, a marked Favorite, or an address you enter manually or have previously entered. You can pan the map (adjust left/right/up/down) and zoom in or out.

> Launching Sprint Navigation

> 1. | To launch Sprint Navigation on your device, tap the Sprint Navigation icon on the Programs tab.

> After starting Sprint Navigation, you will see a splash screen for a few seconds.

> 2. | Type in your First Name, Last Name, and Email Address, and then tap Login.

> 3. | You will then see a safety warning. If you agree to the conditions listed, tap Go.

> 4. | You can choose to take a brief tour of Sprint Navigation or proceed directly to the application.

> Note | The Product tour is only displayed the first time you log into Sprint Navigation. If you would like to access the Product Tour again after your first login, you can access it from the Tools/Extras menu.

> Using Sprint Navigation

> The Main Menu

> After logging into Sprint Navigation, you will be taken to the application’s Main menu.

> | Drive To lets you get driving directions by address, recently entered locations, airport code or business name.

> | Search provides you with different ways to provide the addresses and phone numbers of banks, restaurants, gas stations, emergency services, and other hard to find locations.

> | Maps & Traffic allows you to view map and traffic information for your current location, favorite places, a business, specific addresses, and more.

> | Tools & Extras gives you options for setting preferences and other features.

> Entering an Address

> With Sprint Navigation, there are two ways to enter an address – by typing it or by speaking it. To access the address entry menu, tap Drive To and then tap Address. You will then see the following options:

> | Type It allows you to enter a street address by typing it in the appropriate fields.

> 1. On the Address screen, tap Type It.

> 2. Enter the street name. You may type in a partial entry (five or more letters) for the street name.

> Note | You can always leave the street address field blank and type in a city to perform a city search. The City and State fields have an auto-fill feature, so you usually will not have to type in the whole name of the city or state.

> 3. Tap Done to submit the address.

> Note | To quickly clear the fields, choose Menu > Clear All on the address screen.

> 4. Sprint Navigation checks to see if the address you entered can be found. Sprint Navigation prompts you to modify the address if it is too new to be found in the mapping database or if the street number cannot be found for some other reason.

> After submitting the address, you will be taken to the trip confirmation street and you are ready to begin your trip.

> | Speak It allows you to enter a street address by calling in and dictating the address.

> 1. On the Address screen, tap Speak It.

> 2. Follow the voice prompts to enter your destination address.

> 3. After a successful entry, hang up and you will be taken back to the screen you were viewing prior to making the call. The location you just entered will now be displayed at the top of your Recent Places list. You may need to tap Refresh Recent Places to make the address available.

> You should now have a basic understanding of how to enter an address and get driving directions. For more information about using Sprint Navigation, visit the support page at http://www.htc.com/us/default.aspx.
