The Nikon P6000 works great with iPhoto. I am not promoting it, just stating that as a fact. It is slow to get GPS location, so I was here shopping for a slimmer GPS camera when I came across this question.

I do not know the exact answer to your excellent question but, not many if any make compatible software or drivers to work with MAC. You will need to research converting software and Apple will be of little help, good luck.

I own the Panasonic zs7 and just did an import. When you ask iPhoto to find the picture on the map (assuming you took it with GPS enabled), it pulls the picture location up immediately. It does not take the liberty of naming the place for you, but the map spot is highly accurate.

Many thanks Navarro. Read the reviews. Your help on the GPS and Faces settles it for me.

A simple app for your smartphone will address your needs with a much better UI. That said, he unit can act as a stand alone GPS device. You will record a large number of lat/long coordinates that eventually will turn into points on a map. That is achieved by eating the unit in Log mode. My preferred solution, though, consists in ensuring each photo or video is properly geo tagged. That means storing lat/long, elevation, orientation and other params as exif data points.

The GPS feature is associated with tagging the recorded event at the start only. When it is selected in the playback function it displays points on a map of all the videos clips it has in memory. I don't believe there is anyway to access this info in real time while a clip is playing or if there is any other way to use this info other than on the camera. It's a nice feature but not very useful to me. I just love the clarity and 3D.

I really couldn't tell you that without more information. Could be the seller difference. Could be that the un-bundled camera has GPS, as some do. I really don't know. Sorry.

It has an option on the camera's menu screen under GPS to "Use GPS to set clock" which may or may not include setting the correct date on the camera's clock. However, as part of reporting the Position it also reports UTC in the form of ----/--/-- --:--:-- and that information is included in the EXIF data for the photograph and is reported as GPS Date.

I baught one of these. The first thing thry did was send the wrong unit (model) Only after a great deal of hell-raising did they agree to send the one I wanted.. the first one did not have the gps function. it did have the 3d imaging but I would not call it 'side imaging'. the replacement unit they sent had the gps function (for which I had to purchase software) and did not have the 3d imaging feature. My advice to you .... be very sure before you order.

The GPS coordinates do not appear on the image. The GPS coordinates are attached as location metadata, called EXIF data, in the image file, just like the file name, date, F-stop, and any other info. You need special software to read the EXIF metadata, such as the free ExifTool. There are other free tools also. I am a programmer and chose ExifTool Perl module to integrate into my Perl scripts for handling large numbers of files. But you don't have to be a programmer to use the ExifTool.exe program. ExifTool.exe is great for reading one file at a time, but what about a whole set of phots? Another way to do this, without ExifTool, is to use GoogleEarth. There are free programs that will generate KMZ files from a group of your geotagged photos. KMZ files can then be viewed with Google Earth to show a set of locations for the set of photos. GeoTag is a very powerful, free tool that I use because it does that and so much more.

1. Yes it keeps plaiyng. But you can make gps volume louder. Whebln someone rings it turns off sound.2. Map and gps software are stored on sd card. You can extract it and update map.3. Did not try to connect camera. Sorry.

No. It is not a GPS device. Nor does it "reflect" map application information (but that would be nice) . It only "reflects " performance oriented data from a compatible App like: wahoo or strava; time, speed, cadence, pace, rpm, heart rate, etc.

I ordered the origional "Dash Cam 2@ gps Sensor from the Kim site and it came the same day. It works great. It appears any gps sensor would workReply: The unit only needs a gps antenna and already holds the program for it. Not sure if it will accept a gps device? If so.... Then great

Yes, I know the others say no, but when I've loaded the pics on my iPad, you can see the location on the map. I don't know how you do that without GPS

I have used the WiFi several times, but have yet to note the GPS feature on the Coolpix. The small Manual that came with the camera does not mention it either. I just went through the settings menu and see no mention of GPS, which I do have on my D7100 Nikon.

Patrick, Like any product you get what you pay for. I've had NO problem with this GPS, any place I needed to go it took me right to the door.Not only were the established streets there so were some of the New Developements (MD). Unfortunately I haven't had to look for maps, thats the purpose of a GPS. Just put in the address and follow, if you're looking for something specific use the apps, i.e. resturants, hospitals,schools,etc. If it doesn't do what you want you can always return it. Yes there is also an app for maps, I just don't use it. Hope this helps.

Sam, I only used it a short time before the water seeped in and broke the camera. But I believe it only shows the GPS coordinates.

I would like to know too.Did anyone test it?If any Windows users see this can you please let us know what version did you get?You can find it easyly from Device Manager, instructions:http://www.quickcamteam.net/documentation/faq/how-do-i-find-the-vendor-and-product-id-of-my-camera

Thanks for this info. Not many people use the GPS and so you are the first to input on it. I have ordered a couple more batteries. I will need the GPS alot. I just hope I can figure it out once I get the camera. Stormy

Nikon's site says that the D5300 does accept their GPS unit and the Geotagger, from my experience and research, is an excellent replacement for it. So that would mean that it must have the GPS accessory terminal (looks similar to a mini-USB). Given that, it appears that the Geotagger would work. I found Solmeta communicative so you might want to email them to be sure: service@solmeta.com.I hope that this helps...BTW, I am very pleased with mine.
