GPS has been removed in this model, Please could you let us know if Sony plan to release the A77mII with GPS any time soon?

For me, the best place for information on upcoming Sony models is http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/

Get this camera.. So what many people do.. use your smart phone or get a pocket GPS logger.. Then you sync the images off line in software like Lightroom lots of tools to do this.

There will be no GPS in this camera. It appears that WiFi is the feature of the day and has replaced GPS. I have this camera and an A77 which has GPS but quite frankly I never use the GPS feature of the older camera as I have no use for it.

I would think not. Thats a significant feature and would probably take another model release to add it back. Obviously no firmware update can enable it.

The space within the camera body that housed the GPS chip, is now being used for Wifi. It is highly unlikely that Sony plans to offer a second product line, solely to offer a model with the GPS. But, I would expect that there may be apps that allow you to use the wifi to tie in with your smart phone, to essentially add GPS tagging.

I agree, we should ask Garmin to clarify their policy. FYI, Garmin does not sell GPS units direct to consumer.

I have actually wondered that myself. I have read up on it a little, and as far as I can tell, I would have to say no. But who knows, maybe it will, I haven't read anything about anyone trying it. But who wants to spend that much money just to see if it will work. I know, I hate it as well. I bought this stereo because it was the best and nicest one available from Sony, and you can't even get the newer GPS with it. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have anymore questions about this unit. Ill be more than happy to answer the best I can.

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.

The V on the end of a US/Canada 500 series cam means it has GPS. I have a CX500V; it definitely has the GPS feature.

That's amazing! I was just about to purchase this unit and now it's gone? So we have to wait for half a year to buy the new model? Seems like Sony would rather be making money by selling this model while the new ones are being developed.

I bought a TomTom XXL 540TM 5 Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator in 2011 and it did have this feature if I remember correctly. It quit working when I tried to do a map update so I can't double check for you but I remember using this feature.

There is a GPS app available, I have not used it. It's a basic tablet, I mainly use for Facebook & online shopping.

Product is Captive Touch Technology which means the screen is sensitive to touch for application execution. The screen is also mutli touch meaning the application icons can be manipulated or moved to other areas of the desktop and in some applications the image on the screen can be expanded and retracted with the use of your index finger and thumb, like photos, some web pages..etc. There is no GPS functionality built in the Elocity A7. Not sure if there are usb, bluetooth or micro SD peripherals developed for Android 2.2 that will function with the unit. The product shipment date has not been finalized but is planned be posted later this month.

Hi Roger...I believe this model has been discontinued...it does not have GPS and so does not have lakes / card options.... it works great for us because we are on a small lake and really only wanted sonar and water temp.

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-59201 Post # 15 here Also be aware that the GPS looks like it will not function until you install the newer firmware do to be released soon.

Can you post your impression of image quality, movie quality and gps accuracy?I'm very curious on time for gps lock and if you have another source to compare it to for accuracy.

...no, the G1 was the first G series camera from around 2009 or so...so no GPS on the G1

Best to ask or look on the manufacturer website as we are using on a D7000, there were different cable for different camera models. GPS info gets written to the metadata so yes available on jpg or raw.

Hmm i guess it says there is GPS in the title. How does it work?? I have this product. I also don't know how to update the information.

I bought this as a gift, so I can't look. But if I remember correctly this model does not have GPS. The newer models of this camera do have GPS.
