Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / September 2005GPS on my VZW Kyocera KX1
According to Phone Scoop, my Kyocera KX1v is GPS capable. On my phone, there is a symbol, a circle with a cross through it, (*) indicating that the GPS is currently disabled. Under the Menu, Phone Info, it shows that hash marks next to the symbol would indicate that GPS is enabled [*)))]. There doesn't seem to be any way to manually enable GPS. How is GPS enabled? Programming by VZW? When making a 911 call? If programed on all the time, does it suck up the battery when enabled? Where's the GPS antenna? Separate from the phone's antenna? Thanks for any insight.

Don't know if that's the same on all phones. Steve | According to Phone Scoop, my Kyocera KX1v is GPS capable.

You have two menu choices, on with 911 or on all the time..... PC Thanks, folks, I found it. Menu, Settings, Network, Location, choose On All The Time or when in 911 call. 911 was preset.

I imagine that the FBI and CIA can track you even with the GPS on 911..:-) >> Thanks, folks, I found it.
