NIKON’S GP-1 GPS!!!
Travelling had been a childhood passion. Photography came inevitable. Photos in my numerous albums sparkle with memories of those wonderful and awesome places. Being an ardent lover of travelling, buying latest cameras and recorders were necessary. Nikon’s GP-1 GPS unit was something I recently caught hold of. Technology has advanced fairly to higher extent with things coming up totally to surprise us. So did this GPS unit. I was awestruck and felt it my eagerness to share with others.
Nikon’s GP-1 GPS unit can be attached to the hot shoe of Nikon or to the strap, along with an adaptor. It tags the photos by recording the altitude, latitude, longitude and time of any particular place. The photos are uploaded using software like Nikon’s ViewNX software. The GP-1 unit takes few seconds to receive the satellite signals in any place. Time varies from 45 seconds to 5 seconds. It has three light indicators; solid green implies detection of three or four signals; just green means it has detected three and the last red flashes to indicate the absence of recorded GPS satellite data.
