Use the LG VX6100's GPS

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I recently got a LG VX6100 phone and I was looking around and I found
the GPS feature. I did some looking and I could not figure out how to
use it. How do you? Is there any way that there can be a program
running on your computer that would track the position of your phone?
Is there any way that you can view your location on your phone, in case
you get lost.

Thanks for any help, I think that it would be really cool if there was
a way for this to work.

To get to all the GPS controls, go to menu and hit 0 then enter 00000
as the service code and go to Test Fields -> GPSone. I'm not sure, but
I don't think it will normally let you track the location of the phone;
its privacy thing. But that would be useful.

Have you tried this recently? I try it and I get a Verizon error
message saying that my call cannot be completed as dialed. Also I
cannot change/find some of those settings on my phone.

When I did this, it came up with "GPS Test" or something like that but
no coordinates. It rang a few times and then i heard "911 what's your
emergency"...oops!
