The Nikon P6000 works great with iPhoto. I am not promoting it, just stating that as a fact. It is slow to get GPS location, so I was here shopping for a slimmer GPS camera when I came across this question.

I do not know the exact answer to your excellent question but, not many if any make compatible software or drivers to work with MAC. You will need to research converting software and Apple will be of little help, good luck.

I own the Panasonic zs7 and just did an import. When you ask iPhoto to find the picture on the map (assuming you took it with GPS enabled), it pulls the picture location up immediately. It does not take the liberty of naming the place for you, but the map spot is highly accurate.

Many thanks Navarro. Read the reviews. Your help on the GPS and Faces settles it for me.

Thanks for the reply, Craig!Do we need to buy the topo software directly from Garmin, or does Amazon carry it? (I couldn't find it here.) Will we need an extra memory card to hold the topo data for a region? I'm trying to figure out what the total expense will be for all the add-ons we'll want/need before we choose a unit.If you were choosing between an eTrex and a GPSMAP unit today, which would you choose?Thanks again!

The dash cam works intermittently with my Windows 7 PC. When it works, the internal storage of the camera is recognized as an external drive. It has a slot for additional storage, but I was not able to access that storage. Also, the camera has failed to shut off automatically and ended up draining my car battery.

Yes, I know the others say no, but when I've loaded the pics on my iPad, you can see the location on the map. I don't know how you do that without GPS

Can you use the GPS for putting only the date and time on your pics?? Not wanting the location.

I don't own this series, but since no one has answered your question, I'll try. The Topo maps appear when using 2D mode, not 3D (AFAIK). As far as photos (I've never used this feature on my Garmin), but I suspect you can take any picture you want and load it on your Garmin (just make sure they are small in size). Photo navigation I also haven't used. Check the Garmin manual (on line manual) for more info on this.

Patrick, Like any product you get what you pay for. I've had NO problem with this GPS, any place I needed to go it took me right to the door.Not only were the established streets there so were some of the New Developements (MD). Unfortunately I haven't had to look for maps, thats the purpose of a GPS. Just put in the address and follow, if you're looking for something specific use the apps, i.e. resturants, hospitals,schools,etc. If it doesn't do what you want you can always return it. Yes there is also an app for maps, I just don't use it. Hope this helps.

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 will put geo tags (LAT/LONG) into the the image EXIF. Recognizing the nearby locations should be done later with the software, not by the device itself.

It has an option on the camera's menu screen under GPS to "Use GPS to set clock" which may or may not include setting the correct date on the camera's clock. However, as part of reporting the Position it also reports UTC in the form of ----/--/-- --:--:-- and that information is included in the EXIF data for the photograph and is reported as GPS Date.

Good question. I have never tried it but don't see why it would not work. As long as the ipilot is on and operating to allow the GPS function to trace the track. Next time out I'm going to try it.

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.

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, it has GPS function built in. In fact when I hit the GPS switch in my garage before starting it asks me if it is indoors? Don't know why or what the difference is. Perhaps the power of the transmitted signal or the sensitivity of the receiver. Works great and mileage is very close to the mileage on my cycle computer. I'm a bicycle rider.

It has no GPS. It does have built-in HDR, but I have never used it. It is a great 16 megapixel still camera and also takes very impressive video. The only complaints I have about it are that the control dials and buttons are very tiny and the viewing screen does not swing OUT from the camera body, only UP. Also, I printed out the 110 page owners manual, but it has no index. You have to search through it to find what you want. Overall, a fantastic camera!

Comparing the GPS in a camera to that of a smartphone or Garmin isn't really fair. They use different methods to determine your location. To be fair, you would have to compare the GPS feature in similar cameras. I don't think the GPS in the SX230HS is any better or worse than most other cameras with GPS. Incidentally, I haven't had a problem with anything getting tagged correctly, even indoors.

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!
