The unit is receiving signals from four or more
satellites. More precise location data will be
recorded with photographs.
Location data are only recorded while the GP-N100 is receiving signals
from at least three satellites. If no signal is received for over two sec-
onds, the satellite signal indicator will clear from the camera display
and no location 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 location data (location data can still be
acquired without these resources, although the time needed to do may
increase). This method of determining position using supplementary
information 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
download 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.
