You can use Sprint Navigation for many business and personal functions, including:
Finding businesses, churches, schools, government offices, police and fire stations, etc. 
Getting audible and visual driving directions to virtually anywhere in the United States within a Sprint coverage area. 
Making reservations at restaurants, motels, and hotels. 
As a replacement for paper maps. 
As a personal information manager to keep a My Favorites list of places that you’ve visited or called. 
To view traffic information for a certain area or route.
For example, you can use Sprint Navigation to find a motel, save the motel’s location to your My Favorites list so you can easily find it again later, call it and make reservations, then get audible turn-by-turn and visual directions to the motel. You can also search for a particular type of business closest to your current location or closest to another location. 
For example, you could search for a Mexican restaurant closest to your current location or closest to the motel at which you just made reservations. In addition, you can also search for locations along your route. For example, you can search for all of the gas stations that sell your favorite brand of gas on your route between Dallas and Houston.
Quick Start
Initial Driving Directions 
Within a few seconds of selecting a Drive To location, Sprint Navigation calculates what it believes to be an optimal route to your destination and tells you how to start your trip from your current location. If you are not moving, Sprint Navigation may not know your direction of travel, so the first few driving directions may be incorrect since Sprint Navigation may initially make an incorrect assumption. However, once you start moving, Sprint Navigation learns your direction of travel and provides an updated set of driving directions.
GPS Origin Refinement 
If you are using GPS navigation and you are in a parking lot or similar area where your location does not exactly map to a specific street, you may see a pop-up that shows Sprint Navigation’s best estimate of which street you are on. This gives you the opportunity to change the starting street. 
If you elect to change the starting street, a list of neighboring streets appears, and you can make an alternate selection from the list. If you do nothing, the first pop-up disappears after a few seconds, and Sprint Navigation uses the default street as the starting location. 
If you are not sure which street you are on, simply start driving. Sprint Navigation detects your current location and recalculates your driving directions as needed.
Audible Guidance Tones 
Sprint Navigation application delivers audible guidance tones (beeps with a recognizable pitch) as you drive in addition to spoken audible directions. A preparatory audible tone is typically heard no less than 30 seconds before reaching a turn, and an action audible tone is typically heard no less than 10 seconds before reaching a turn. The preparatory audible tone may not be sounded if the distance to the next turn only allows time for the action tone. The lead times for the audible guidance tones are increased proportionally to your driving speed. For example, this allows more time for changing
Miss a Turn? 
Whenever you miss a turn, turn the wrong way, turn too early or too late, or otherwise get off the planned route to your destination, Sprint Navigation automatically creates a new route to your desired destination and an audible tone announces that a new set of instructions is available. 
If you realize you have missed a turn or have otherwise gotten off the route, just keeping driving. Sprint Navigation detects your current location and recalculates a new set of driving directions to get you back on track. It may take approximately 15 to 30 seconds for Sprint Navigation to update your route. 
If during this process you make additional deviations from your current route, Sprint Navigation may have to contact its servers for another new route. Since Sprint Navigation requires access Sprint’s network, if you are off route and outside of the carrier’s coverage area, you must return to Sprint’s coverage area in order for Sprint Navigation to recalculate your route.
Navigation Options 
After you select a Drive To location, the Directions screen appears. Sprint Navigation assumes that you want to start from your current location, but your can select the Edit Route option to change the Origin or the Destination of your trip.

Press the OK button or the right soft key to access the Edit Route menu. 
Note: You can also get walking directions that may make your walking route easier, for example by allowing you to take advantage of going the wrong way down one way streets. As always, use your common sense to determine the safety of any route. 
To get walking directions from any Directions screen select: Edit Route > Route Style > Pedestrian 
The Edit Route menu allows you to select a new origin or destination by using any of the methods discussed. For example, you could select a location from your My Favorites or Recent Places lists, you could search for a business or other entity in the Directory, or you could enter an address, an intersection, or a city. You can also modify the Route Style for your trip by selecting one of the following options: 
Fastest - This default Route Style finds the fastest driving route. 
Traffic Optimized - This Route Style finds the fastest route that minimizes current traffic delays. 
Shortest - This Route Style may or may not take more time to drive, but it shows you the shortest distance.

Pedestrian - Find walking directions.
