Using GPS Function
48
You can keep a record of where the camera was taken by using location
information acquired from GPS satellite signals over a period of time. Daily
location data based on acquired GPS signals is logged to a file, separate from
image data. This log file can be loaded into the included software (p. 2) to
trace the route taken with the camera on a map.
Since the date will be updated, and information location will be logged
continually whether or not the camera is on, battery life will be reduced even
when the camera is off. You may find the battery to be nearly depleted when
turning the camera on. Charge the battery as needed, or keep a spare
charged battery with you.
