How well does the optional GPS work?

Hi. I have been playing with this camera a good deal the last couple of weeks but mostly on how well it does bracketing and comparing the exposure control settings vs a true representation of the scene at low light. I will keep a hold of the question and test out the GPS this weekend and let you know. Hope that helps. (Great little camera by the way).

Well it may just be me, but I couldn't get it to work at all. I plugged it in and nothing. I will open up a support call at some point and try to figure it out. Answer here...

Yes, the radio and stuff work while using the GPS. The GPS is on a memory chip and just replace with updated map chip to update maps. And I don't have a problem with the backup camera at night.

I have just played with it locally. It will plan from current location to where ever you want to go. We will be road tripping in our RV in Feb and will give it a side by side test with our older Garmin. ROGER

The Gps is very good. I'm not sure how to answer your questions other than it seems to work great and kowm how hug it is at all time.

I just bought this, so I cannot comment on how well it works. But, I can say it isn't GPS-based.

It will work, but you can buy a stand alone GPS for under $200 that would be more suitable. You will need BeeLineGPS to get this to work. There are other programs, but I have tested it with BLGPS and it works. However, when I cache, I take either my explorist or my meridian gold.

You don't need internet to use GPS. Just download TomTom GO for $20. That's what I'm using. It worked perfectly without internet.

Seems to be pretty accurate.It will depend a lot on the preferances you enter on your gps.

Yes, it has the navigation app and that works well. GPS is a little slow to acquire the satellites, but it works well.

Nothing that I've noticed except for a slightly smaller screen. I travel a lot off of recognizable roads that are on the garmin maps but the "tracks feature" draws a line everywhere I've driven even if the GPS does not recognize a road.

maps are easy to download into pn-60, i use delorme Topo USA and then choose a grid they have laid out and then off it goes to the gps unit, not much trouble at all. Don't have to be computer geek to get it done. Reception on gps is awesome, i have left it in my pocket under heavy tree cover and it still recorded my tracks. Very happy with this unit.

I dont think it effects the gps signal. Ive used google ms ps for navigation and there were no issues. Excellent battery life by the way.

I've had the 9500ix for about a year now. First one I've owned with GPS. The memory feature works good, and is constantly updated on my Mac. I have had very little issue with false alarms. This thing sees around corners surprisingly well. Haven't tried the max yet. Saved me some money between Phoenix and Flagstaff.

Depending on where you are, it sometimes takes a really long time to get its gps feed. I don't know if that is a problem with this device or if the signals are just too weak on some places. But I have used it for bike rides, hikes, skiing, running, and mud runs. When it gets a sattelite feed it works great.

I wouldn't say it's great but it's not bad. The GPS is usable but I wouldn't buy it just for that. The detector is great and the GPS is a nice added feature. Hope that helps!
