Blocking GPS

The bass just bought us all shinny new i205's complete with GPS. Needless to
say we all think this sucks, anybody figured out how to block the GPS
antenna yet ?

maybe you should not worry about it and just do your job and not sit in one
place all the time...

Simply go into setup and turn the GPS part off. Is it nice to work for a
bass?

If he's trying to track his employees, he's probably a big mouth bass

Some time around Sun, 14 Dec 2003 13:09:51 -0500 (give or take a month), someone called "CWArnold" <www.cwarnold.com>
rambled on about:

yah but don't forget the bass service option where all calls are logged and recorded so the bass can listen to them
later.
I have a friend that works for Motorola and he says that the Bass Spy (B.S.) software to allow the bass to listen to
all your conversations has not been implemented yet, but it is doing well in field tests and should be ready for roll
out the first quarter of 2004.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm recording all of your calls
( yah but don't forget the bass service option where all calls are logged
and recorded so the bass can listen to them
later.)
It is against the law to do this un less you are being told or court
ordered !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

If I recall, "bass" are exempt from this law, they cannot speak. However,
the "Barking Fish", of the Great Lakes Region, are not exempt. The law
requires them to bark to notify others of the recording.

If you look on any search engine you will find plenty of links to B.S. (bass software)
I am sure you can find so much BS that you need a shovel to go through it.
I talked with my friend from Motorola today and the BS software will be released April 1st.

Well, I have a dedicated GPS, and unlike a GPS equipped phone, the
dedicated GPS makes a point of telling me when it can or cannot get a
signal. I've found that the signal doesn't bass through buildings very
well, and won't bass through metal much at all. Signal aquisition always
went faster in a ragtop, and took forever in a hardtop. Consider getting
a new cell phone case. I'd recommend a steel ammo box, though your
trunk, tool box or glove box should do in a pinch. Even throwing your
phone under your seat could reduce performance. Keep in mind that this
will also limit your range. When you reach the site, know that the
accuracy of the system is limited indoors. Throw it in a desk or filing
cabinet for that extra insurance. Also know that the phone should take a
moment to get a fix on your location. Get a headset with ptt, run it out
your new olive drab phone case, and you should be able to complete your
DC and phone calls without a GPS fix, provided you're in a good coverage
area.

Or, you could just play nice and work hard.
