I got a used U720, and was planning on using it for the built-in GPS function it has. I don't have a service plan for it.

Whenever I try to use the location services on the Sprint Mobile Broadband connection manager, it seems to try to connect to the cellular network, and then fails with varying error messages, sometimes that it can't connect to the remote computer, sometimes that the remote computer isn't responding. Under device info in the menu it shows the GPS on COM8 but Microsoft Streets and Trips can't seem to access it.

Does anyone know if you need to have a service contract in order to use this just for the GPS?
