Abstract

On startup, a mobile station application will determine the current carrier network and submit a query to an application server that will return the correct location server configuration for the specified network. This information will be used on the mobile station to dynamically configure the device through the available GPS chipset API.

Claims

1. A method of configuring a mobile device, comprising:

transmitting a request for location configuration data;

receiving a location configuration data in response to said request for location configuration data; and

initializing navigation hardware with said location configuration data.
