Using GPS/Displaying Maps
Starting GPS Data Recording
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system using the
electro-magnetic waves of a network of GPS satellites placed into orbit. It allows
users to determine their locations anywhere on Earth. The camera’s internal GPS
receives signals from the GPS satellites and calculate its current time and position.
Calculation of the position is known as positioning.
The position information (latitude and longitude) can be recorded on the pictures
to be shot.
