specify the type of business that you are looking for (for example, a restaurant or
hotel).
For limitations related to Sprint Location Services, see “Location-Based Services
limitations” on page 94.

selected Enable Location Services and, if you will be using GPS applications,
Display GPS Receiver, and you have accepted the Privacy Consent Agreement(s).
2. In Sprint Connection Manager, click Menu > Location & Search Services.
