How does the gps show itself on the pictures/

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.

Yes you can see those items just by moving through the various displays. The odometer is the only value that does not reset manually. It only resets when you change batteries or do a hard reset of the device.

There are two versions of this camera - one without GPS and one with GPS. Make sure you order the right option.

The data is in the mts file apparently in each frame and I think in a header (I'm just beginning to get up to speed on this for a current project), this program: http://www.dvmp.co.uk/ shows the geo data (if you go into settings and turn it on to do so). Also a program called EXIFTool can show the starting gps position and I believe with some extra passed commands to it write out a tracklog of sorts for the mts video.

Hi Mickey,The information, such as GPS, date & time, etc, are store in the EXIF data within the image. If you're using a Mac, getting this info is fairly easy. Within Preview, go to "Tools->Show inspector" and then look at the EXIF tab. Lightroom can also read EXIF data.s

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.

There is an extra piece that isn't something I needed to use. I enlarged the picture and put it together from that and it works great. You need to slide the arms of it to adjust the the GPS to fit. I hope this helps you. Thanks so much!!

Nothing that I've noticed except for a slightly smaller screen. I travel a lot off of recognizable roads that are on the garmin maps but the "tracks feature" draws a line everywhere I've driven even if the GPS does not recognize a road.

No it does not, it only displays the GPS portion of it when you remove the SD Card and play it in the program. It records your GPS location relevant to the real time camera image.

When you plug it in to your computer, the Cobra will download all the latest camera locations. GPS will need to be working while driving and then it will indicate you are getting close to a known camera location.

It does, but it is a little different from most gps sensors in that the map program has to explicitly use it. Nokia "Here Maps" uses it.

No ..... Just an internal GPS to let you know where you're at during 'picture taking' .... ;-)

As it states in the manual connect thru USB and it shows up as a flash drive. Access the files from the viewing software or watch in video player. Using the software you will also see your path in the GPS function.

There is a "Maps" app that comes installed. If you allow it to do so, (and you have Wi-Fi or a data connection) it will show you where you are and give directions to a destination. It doesn't actually give the GPS coordinates but there is an app for that too (I use "My Altitude").

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.

As far as I know it does not, I personally have not used any GPS feature in this camera, nor have I seen any form of advertising that indicates it has one.

No, and No! The GPS feature here embeds location info into the image data, and will also let you know about places in the area, but will not give you directions. The WiFi is used to transfer photos off of the camera and onto your smart phone, or your home computer.
