GPS working on the U727

I missed a setting in the Sprint Mobile Broadband dialer.  There’s a  Display GPS Receiver checkbox to bring up the button to active the GPS receiver.  I also noticed you could change the mapping service.  So I chose Google Maps.

Once I got that going, I went outside and was able to pick  up a few satellites.  iGuidance worked right away and this is looking to be nice multi purpose device.

I took a cruise with the Samsung Q1 with the Novatel U727 sticking out the side.  It fit in the front dash compartment perfectly.  I  was able to stream a new release album with Yahoo Music Jukebox through the Yahoo Unlimited plan.  It’s pretty sweet being able to stream internet radio and a 2 million song library, along with GPS navigation.  Don’t forget it’s a thumbdrive that can take up to 4GB microSD’s.  This is a nice little package.
