Why does our camera not talk to the MAGELLEN GPS

Could be several things. Have you powered the transmitter with a 9volt battery? That should power the transmitter. If that test fails I suggest returning both the transmitter and the receiver to Magellan for test and replacement.

I had to double check all my wiring connections from the camera to the transmitter. I've also learned that the camera jack has to be COMPLETELY plugged into the GPS to work. Hope that helps.Happy Thanksgiving!

This is a back up camera. We had Best Buy hook it up and it works fine. We are connected to Magellan-RoadMate 9055-LM

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

I'm not sure, but my wife for whom I got the camera for has been having problems with hers. I remember reading low reviews on the shutter speed, but the problem we were having was with the battery life. Even with the Gps turned off it always seemed to go fast. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a new problem that I haven't heard of. Sorry I wasn't much help but it seems this product is flawed

No, it doesnt. It doesnt go on the hot shoe. And it doesnt write directly on the photo metadata. You connect the device to your computer and use a software to sync the gps data to the pictures.

It may be that you have inadvertantly turned the IS function off. Check your user manual to make sure you know what should be displayed to indicate the IS is on. Even if it is you still have to hold the camera reasonably still, all cameras.

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.

It did not work on either of my GPS units. Magellon or the Garmin. Why? Dont know.

Hi there,I wish I knew why. Mine is acting the same way. Both times I've tried to use my camera I lost radio control as well. I was so freaked out by crashing it, I never thought to check the GPS signal indicator light. I got my repair parts Friday, and it's pretty windy today, but I'll be checking this out later in the week.

To the best of my knowledge, no. Most backup cameras on the market should work, however, I found it difficult to get any specific technical information from Magellan about connections, switching, etc. and decided to leave my factory backup camera's monitor in place.

Unless the ad states that the GPS has the latest firmware I don't think there is any way to tell. When/if you get the GPS load the free software program VantagePoint from Magellan, it will update the firmware, this is a very handy program.I hope this helps.

Looking at the specifications, it appears that it does not have a camera mode. To be absolutely sure I would recommend you call Garmin and ask a technican there.

Same thing happened to me. The camera needs to be active, not just on. For example I have a nikon d3100 and the display/ view screen needs to be on. It has something to do with providing power to the card.

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.

Sorry - I have a Magellan and it works fine for that.You could always send it back if it doesn't work.

It it is a simple camera system with no built in ability to handle GPS. I do not recommend this camera due to the exposed wires on the dashboard.. I would look into a wireless system.
