Where to Use GPS, and How to Hold the Camera
Use the camera outside, where the sky is clearly visible. (The function will not work properly if you are in an environment, such as indoors, where the GPS satellite signal cannot be received.)
Hold the camera as shown below so that signals are easier to receive from GPS satellites.
Be sure not to cover the GPS signal receiver with your finger or other objects.
How to Carry the Camera When Using the Logger
For better GPS signal reception, try to keep the GPS antenna pointing up, toward the sky. When carrying the camera in a bag, put it in the bag with the GPS antenna pointing up, and try to put the camera in an outer section of bag.
Places With Poor GPS Coverage
Location information may not be recorded, or inaccurate information may e recorded where GPS signal coverage is poor, such as in the following laces.
Since the position of GPS satellites changes over time, the camera’s positioning data may not be recorded, the recorded position may differ from the actual position, or the camera may record a false route even if it was used in the same place without moving.
