Does iPhoto recognize the GPS data? Does anyone know if this camera's GPS data is read by iPhoto 09's Places function?

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 bought a used garmin and a cable later. They did hook up after I loaded Picasa (sp?) however either my device was too old or I was not the original purchaser and could not up date my device. But I might be wrong because I am an internet idiot. I am a writer. On SCRIBD I publish as SpecialDad.

The camera connects just like a flash drive and I import directly into iPhoto and manage my photos there. I've never used the Kodak software. If you prefer that then I'm confident it will work although I've never installed it. Apple support for cameras has always been top shelf (exception of Nikon but only because of Nikon).

This GPS unit is very good, reasonably fast start up and low battery drain. I used it during vacation trips (powered all day) and did not have to change the battery. However, I used it with the D7000. When I upgraded to the D800, this brand was not available with the matching plug for the camera, so had to do with it. Since the GPS unit is unchanged, I would presume that the same functionality would be preserved. For this price (less than what I paid at Amazon) it is definitely worth a try.

Much like a GPS unit, you can use the suction cup mount to attach it to the dash. I'm not sure if this unit comes with it, but most GPS units come with a small, plastic piece that adheres to your dash. That's where the suction cup attaches. With that said, I'm not sure how well it will work on the dash. My camera is mounted to the windshield and I'm not sure if it would record very well mounted to the dash.

It is possible to get GPS data for photos, which I assume has latitude/longitude data. The association is one of the settings in the menu, and as far as I can remember, must be selected to include the data before shooting - it cant be retrieved after the photo(s) are taken. The problems with the GPS feature are that it takes a while for GPS to activate when you turn the camera on, and that that selecting to use GPS drains the battery pretty fast. I would recommend selecting for only one shot in the area you are shooting, and then turning it off... unless having the data is crucial (e.g., for some kind of research project, in which case bring along extra batteries!).

Unlike these other morons that have the unit wired wrong. (If the unit resets, you have it wired wrong!) Yes, you can update the GPS maps. It is done via a dedicated SDHC card.

Responds well! I use iPhoto and an option in iPhoto will show a small map in the lower right wit exact location. Also from the camera you can plug GPS coordinates into a web site and see the location

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.

This camera works fine with my new Mac (OS X) - it just recognizes the camera like any other.Also worth noting, I stuck in a 2GB SD card, and it's working fine so far - although the manual says not to use any larger than 1GB. Not sure what will happen when/if I store more than 1GB of photos on it, but I can keep that from happening.Changing the date on the camera is my priority now (searching for a way to do this lead me to this discussion). Any pointers?

Totally. Use the camera own software for processing the image and gps data together. It superimposes on the video, the gps information related to the scene, i. e., speed, altitude etc. It has basic editing capabilities, but you can always use Imovie or Final Cut afterwardsÁlvaro

It worked without problem for me. You don't have to connect the camera to your computer. I downloaded the file, created a top-level folder "NIKON" and simply copied the downloaded file ("NML_28A.ee") into it. Go to Setup menu -> Location Data -> GPS options -> Update A-GPS data.

Yes, it should as long as you are using a photo app that queries that data from the CoreLocation frame work. It should work with the standard camera app as well as long as you give it access to your location.Roger Koumans, Emprum LLC

I have used the WiFi several times, but have yet to note the GPS feature on the Coolpix. The small Manual that came with the camera does not mention it either. I just went through the settings menu and see no mention of GPS, which I do have on my D7100 Nikon.

I have FujiFilm F550. It's very hard to get GPS location even outdoors. Not even once did I get 3/3 bars on the reception, probably the third bar means one of the satellites dropped out of orbit and is about to smite you.

If you have the GPS on, the GPS information is part of the EXIF data of the photo. If you're using the GPS in LOG (detached from the camera) mode I'm not sure.
