What is GPS? GPS (Global Positioning System) is a global navigation satellite system that calculates position from a network orbiting satellites and essentially allows you to track down your exact location on Earth. This network of GPS satellites consists of 24 total satellites in six orbits, with four satellites in each orbit. These 24 satellites are about 20 kilometers (about 12.
Precautions The positioning of GPS satellites varies depending on the location and time you are using a GPS receiver and there may be a delay in tracking or no tracking available at all. Due to the fact that a GPS receiver needs to communicate to orbiting satellites with a direct line of sight, avoid using the device in areas where radio signals would be obscured. If possible, use the device in open sky environments.
Product Features The ATP Photo Finder calculates and records GPS position data and allows you to precisely track the exact location and time of where your pictures were taken. Make sure that the Photo Finder is activated while you’re taking pictures with your digital camera. After you finish taking pictures, simply insert your SD card or Memory Stick Pro Duo card into the Photo Finder card slot and the GPS data will be synchronized and added to all pictures on the card.
