In the box it says that it comes with GPS, but when I go to the menu of the camera, it doesn't show. So, where is the GPS function and how can I activ

You can't trust the box. When mine arrived it wasn't the right product. The seller was great in helping resolve the issue to my satisfaction. Mine didn't have an option for GPS. I didn't have a problem as the last thing I need is to have a cop see that I was traveling over the limit when I observed something.

If you travel a lot and want yo know exactly where each picture is taken, then get it with GPS. If you're just going to take pictures in your pool, then don't worry about it. The GPS is for tagging your pics only and can't be used got navigation.

Good morning! I am apologize to inform you that I have never used it for that is particular function. However, the GPS function is astonishing! It has been used all through the US and South America with no problem! I hope this helps!

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.

Hi Ron I added the backup camera. It connects wirelessly to the GPS. It was the main reason we bought this GPS. We have Garmin, Magellan and Tomtom and if you just want a GPS then the Garman is the best.

I had to play around with my pc settings for the camera. I have a built in camera and just had to switch it to recognize the device. A few times in the past I need to have the program disk in my pc, probably because it doesn't seem to say installed on its own. And I would need it again now if I wanted to use it..

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.

Mine was an upgrade, wanted a GPS on my truck.I bought mine for $399.It does come from China, so be ready to wait a while, unless Amazon has one that ships faster.

It doesn't have GPS. You can't view the GPS via Bluetooth but you can hear the audio from your phone when using the navigation.

Spy Tec has mentioned back on the April 9th that they should have it for sale separately in about a week or so. http://forum.dashcamtalk.com/threads/marcus-1-or-3-anyone-got-them-in-stock-yet-shipping-to-usa.4886/#post-59201Post # 15 hereAlso be aware that the GPS looks like it will not function until you install the newer firmware do to be released soon.

You can order this same camera with or without GPS, my camera does not have it because it's not something I would use.

I agree with the comments regarding GPS reception. I recently took this camera to NYC and was unable to get any GPS logging during my trip except when I was at the top of the empire state building! I thought this camera would do a better job than my Sony HX5V since the GPS is supposed to stay active even when the camera is off so I wouldn't need to wait so long when the camera is powered on to take a shot... no such luck. The HX5V still doesn't acquire a signal when indoors and takes a while to get a signal before each shot (when the reception is good), but I'd rather have it than the SX230HS as far as GPS tagging goes.

It comes with a standard window mount that does not have the GPS in it. The optional mount has the GPS in it. Awesome camera! I hope this helps!

The GPS feature provides Lat & Long coordinates as part of the video image along with a time stamp. You can't get directions or program a route. You've got to get the Garmin Nuvi for that feature. Hope this helps - GO PATS

Theres no GPS software. The camera records the GPS info and you can see it in any computer you like.

I have not gotten it to play music while I am using GPS. However, I didn't hook up all the extra wires either because the instructions suck! GPS map update? I don't know about updating GPS maps because the original seller should know this answer and they never respond. They always send us consumers questions to answer for others. Rear view camera at night? I don't know because first: I did not receive a camera from the seller even though they said that it was in the box and they lied to me. I bought my own camera and get this: There is a separate button you push to engage the rear view camera after you put it into reverse gear. Weird, right? What do you expect from non-US made products.
