using.
When [GPS Setting] is set to [ON], GPS function will operate even when the power

•
Electromagnetic waves, etc. from this unit may affect other electronic devices, so set
[GPS Setting] to [OFF] or
[Airplane Mode] to [ON] and turn the power of the unit off during
plane takeoff or landing, or in an area where use is prohibited. (P115)
• Battery power is consumed even if the power is turned off when [GPS Setting] is set to [ON].
About the information of recording location
•
Location names of the recording locations or landmarks (such as name of the building, etc.) are
as of December 2011. Information will not be updated.
• Depending on the country or the region, there may be less information for location names and
landmark names.
About the positioning
•
It will take longer for positioning in an environment where it is harder to receive the radio waves
from the GPS satellites. (P114)
• Even if the receiving condition of the radio waves is excellent, it may take approx. 2 to
3 minutes to complete the positioning when performing positioning for the first time or
when you perform positioning after turning on the power again after turning the unit off
with the [GPS Setting] set to [OFF] or [Airplane Mode] set to [ON].
• The positions of the GPS satellites are changing constantly, so positioning may not be
performed or the information may have errors depending on the recording location or
conditions.
• For details on how to perform positioning smoothly, read “Receiving signals from GPS
satellites
” on P114.
When used during overseas travel etc.
