location information. Latitude and longitude (B) are displayed

Notes
Even when the camera acquires information from satellites, triangulation may take time or

Do not cover the GPS sensor with your finger when searching for GPS satellites or when
triangulating. This decreases the sensitivity of the GPS sensor and triangulation may fail.
