Is it possible to turn off the GPS so that it will not run the battery down when you don't need it? Does the GPS keep working when the camera is off?

If you click the globe button and then select "location data options" you can disable GPS from there.

It seems that after a certain time without activity the receiver shuts off. Like if I ride to work when I get ready to go home I have to press the button and cycle through the settings to get to brake mode again. So no it won't run down the battery.

Yes you don't need GPS or WIFI turned on to use the camera. I always leave my GPS off as it can drain the battery faster. I also leave the WIFI off unless I am transferring pictures to my phone.

No. You dont want it anyways. Its a useless feature that constantly drains the cameras battery even when its powered off.

Yes. Most times you will have the gps function off because otherwise you would run through batteries very quickly. The GPS function is something I use sparingly. It will attach a lat and long to a photo - but also very cool, it can create a log of points if you are on a hike, for instance, which you can then download and plot. It's not something you would use all the time, but it does have it's uses.The menus are very easy to use and access and turning this function on and off is easy to access.

Did it power off? Do you use SD cards on your video camera ?. If you don't have SD cards the camera will power off. I only replace SD cards, and since I have this fabulous camera I have bought SD cards only once.I only recharge the battery, never had to change it.

Yes, turning the camera on/off is not working right.First delivered one was bad and the replaced one is also the same bad condition which is very frustrating. This camera is a junk. I wasted my money for it. I do not use this camera any more.If it is possible for you, I would like to return the camera to you for refund.Hiro Inoue

I very seldom look at the GPS unless I want yardage confirmation or the distance to the front or back of the green without shooting it with the laser. If you mean can you turn it off, I don't think so. You can delete the course out of the unit, which would in essence, disable the GPS. You can always reload the course through your iGolf account. I absolutely live my hybrid. Hope this helps!

Yes, i you go into menu, you can turn the GPS off. I highly recommend it, you will get double the battery life.

Yes this is an option in one of the menus. This can be turned on and off. If you use the GPS it does use the battery a little more then if you don't use it.

Tablet warns you to unplug when battery is full. It does charge when using gps although not good. Use without charging then charge.

Yes music plays while gps is on, they each have there own volume control. I had my maps updated at a local shop that installs systems, and yes the camera works great at night, your reverse light lights it up. The music does go off while in reverse also, the comes back on in drive or park. My kids also play the games that come on this head unit, and watch dvd's. Overall this was a great purchase.

This unit powers on batteries also, if you have it running on the required 2 double A batteries then you won't have the problem of it turning off when you power down the vehicle. Their is also a "My Favorite" mode where you can save addresses into it, so if it does turn off just turn it back on click my favorite and click the start navigation and it will continue to guide you.

Short answer: no. If you leave the car for longer periods with the camera in parking mode it may drain the battery preventing the car from starting. I would recommend that you get the discharge prevention unless you hook the camera up to a connection that does not have power when the car is switched off.

No. There is another model with the same lenses and megapixels that has GPS and wireless photo download. I opted for the non-GPS on the assumption that GPS will greatly reduce the battery life, but I don't have direct experience with that. Something to look into.
