The unit is receiving signals from four or more
GPS satellites. More precise GPS data will be
recorded with photographs.
GPS data are only recorded while the GP-N100 is receiving signals from
at least three satellites. If no signal is received for over two seconds, the
h icon will clear from the camera display and no GPS data will be
recorded.

Assisted GPS
When connected to a computer using its supplied USB cable, the
GP-N100 can use resources provided by Nikon servers to reduce the
time needed to acquire GPS data (GPS data can still be acquired with-
out these resources, although the time needed to do may increase).
This method of determining position using supplementary informa-
tion stored in a file supplied by a network is known as “Assisted GPS”
(A-GPS or aGPS). To connect to Nikon servers and receive Assisted GPS
files, the GP-N100 uses GP-N100 Utility software, available for down-
load from the following website:
http://nikonimglib.com/gpn100u/
For information on using GP-N100 Utility, see the above website or
online help. The Assisted GPS file provided by the servers is valid for
two weeks, after which time it can no longer be used to assist global
positioning. Use GP-N100 Utility regularly to keep the GP-N100 up to
date.
