The GP-1, Global Positioning System (GPS) accessory is a great addition to your camera system. Very often when I am travelling I am inclined to forget (getting old) where I captured a certain image. With the GP-1, you will always be able to identify where an image was captured.
The system will record, the latitude, longitude, altitude and Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), with the image data EXIF information.
