HOW TO USE USING YOUR GPS Your Contour+2 has a GPS Receiver built in to capture your current location, speed, and elevation with every video. How it Works Whenever you press the Status Button, the Bluetooth Button, or begin recording, the GPS Receiver is turned on and begins calculating a Position Fix for your current position. As soon as it has a Position Fix your Contour+2 can start recording GPS data. Your Contour+2 will still record video even if the GPS system has not obtained a Position Fix.
