does it give you the option disable and enable the gps feature?

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.

We returned it so I don't know. IT just didn't take pictures good enough. Loved the shape but that was about it. Got the Fuji X60 in case you want to compare. We LOVE that camera! Sorry I couldn't help you.

Yes, you can disable and enable it. It is a great camera, esp for close ups because of the light.

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.

Yes. In the "Setting" Menu, its the last menu item on the fourth page. I always keep an extra battery in my pack (bought a Wasabi Power brand on Amazon - great and inexpensive) as the GPS does use up more of your battery life.

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.

Yes, you can disable GPS on this camera. Good thing since GPS uses up more battery.

No, and there are plenty of other reasons not to purchase this unit. In the six months I've had mine, I've had to reset it back to factory defaults three times to restore connectivity to the GPS antenna.

You can turn the "Record GPS data" feature on and off. You can also "update a GPS files" and "Erase GPS data"

No, unfortunately it has GPS or nav capability built in- just audio sources/bluetooth & Pandora controls in conjunction with your smart phone & Pandora app.

Don't buy it if the gps feature is important to you . It stopped working after a few weeks

I disabled it on mine because I was worried about that too -the phone's menu system allows you to do that.

Interestingly no. I too like to use GPS on my mobile or android tablet, but VAIO has some kind of sensors. It easily finds my location. No complaints here.

When it came to the GPS function, I didnt really find it helpful. The map on the camera does not show you pin point where you are. Its just a map unless I did it wrong. It does come with a disk to download but I didnt do that either. I think it supposed to GPS tag your photo but I didnt see that either so I just treat it as a camera without GPS.

GPS has an on and Off in the setting menu. I assume in the off setting it doesn't provide GPS location and update the date/time

do you need data subscription from service provider to use the gps feature ?

Yes. It does. Just go to the settings on your tablet and you can personalize the gps navigation.

It can be changed to walking mode but this is really only for use in cities. I took it with me to a national park for a day hike, but an area that is not developed or is on private property will not display -- it will say something like, "traveling on unpaved road." Even on a university campus, once you're past the mapped area. There are specific recreational GPS units made for hiking/outdoors use, they are more expensive but are also more sensitive in terms of locating your position within feet instead of within several yards/meters.

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.
