Using the GPS
Recording Positional Information to Pictures
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.
This is known as positioning.
The positional information (latitude and longitude) can be recorded onto the
pictures to be shot.
