More info?)
I got this from the Howard website. One thing was brought up that in
some areas, dialing 922 is like dialing 911. My use in Los Angeles
shows no problems, and when you dial 922 and press send you get to
listen to a radio station, I think KNX, and then you get your data on
your screen. I did this in my office and went to mapquest to check the
accuracy. It was accurate to where I was sitting at my desk in the
office!
Use at own risk. The following is what I have cut and paste for you.
"I got this information somewhere the other day, but can't find it
now, but here's the gist of it. Whatever I read said that this is only
available in some markets, too.
Hit Menu > 0 > 000000 (SPC code) > 2 (Field Tests) > 6 (gpsOne) > 2
(Test Num) > Change to 922 > OK (I believe this step has to be done
every time you restart your phone)
While in gpsOne menu: 5 (NV) > 5 (gpsOne Lock) > Turn Off > OK
Also: 1 (gpsOne Test Screen) > Turn On > OK
Also: 4 (Start Application)
Get out of the menu by pressing End.
Dial 922 > Send
Screen should say "gpsOne ... something"
Wait a few seconds, then a bunch of information will appear that you
can scroll through using the up or down buttons. I don't know what
most of it means, but you can see your Lat & Long on the first screen.
Be aware that you will (most likely) be charged for minutes while in
this screen. Hit End to finish.
Before I unlocked the gpsOne Lock and turned on the Screen (form above
steps), dialing 922 just gave a bunch of really weird sayings using
different voices and in a strange pattern. I don't know what any of
that meant, but it was interesting, nonetheless.
Hope this helps!"
