GPS technology About GPS technology You can use GPS technology on your BlackBerry® device to get your GPS location and to use location-based applications and locationbased services.

If your device does not have an internal GPS receiver or your wireless service provider does not support location-based services and you want to use GPS technology, you can pair your BlackBerry device with a Bluetooth® enabled GPS receiver.
