Notes
●
Even when the camera acquires information from satellites, triangulation may take time or fail according to the time or
place.
●
Do not cover the GPS sensor with your finger when searching for GPS satellites or when triangulating. This decreases
the sensitivity of the GPS sensor and triangulation may fail.
