Tip
Sprint Navigation is powered by Telenav satellites. For optimum
performance, use Sprint Navigation outdoors or close to a window. The
satellite signal is diminished when your Treo is indoors. Also, hold the
bottom portion of your Treo to avoid blocking the internal antenna, which is
located in the upper third of your Treo.
