Is GPS upping the cost much? AND What comes with this camera? To me GPS is worthless so does that mean I would be paying much for something that I don't need?

The Canon website lets you download the manual so you can learn more if you wish, and also includes a full description of what is in the box. You get the camera, a charger, battery, battery contact cover, strap, USB interface cable, a stereo AV cable (the yellow, red, white RCA connector kind - not the HDMI kind), a getting started guide, a Solutions CD, and warranty card. The big manuals are all on the CD. It does not come with a memory card. Compatible cards are detailed in the manual available at the Canon website but basically it's SD, SDHC, MultiMediaCard, MMCplus, or HC MMCplus - but don't buy based on this info. Check the manual for details. As to the cost of including GPS, full-on NMEA GPS modules that are meant to be incorporated into other products sell for $20 or so on hobbyist websites. I would imagine Canon is getting them for far less that that. If I had to guess, I would say that overall, the GPS functionality adds maybe $10 to $15 to the cost of the camera otherwise - but that is only a guess.

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.

Funny thing, I didn't use BlueIris...at all. Was able to install all (3) F18910W cameras, 1 at a time. Perhaps you need BlueIris if you want to blow $40 like the others here. Otherwise watch the instructional video that is included with the cam. Then install the cams with the SOFTWARE it was SHIPPED WITH. Done. $40 in your pocket. Download the prefered app on your phone and transfer the HTTP, Port, username & password. (Or just spend $40 and watch your money go down the drain...your call)

The only thing you need is the camera, it said that brings the camera, but it only have the cable and the camera app installed, and another thing, the radio have gps but you have to buy the antenna . If you press the gps icon the screen will turn black and you can't do anything, you have to put a DvD or connect the phone. The radio is perfect, I don't know why the manufacturer discontinued it,because the radio works perfect. Sorry for my bad English, my first language is Spanish, im bad at the English. If you have another question you know what to do.

I'm not sure, but my wife for whom I got the camera for has been having problems with hers. I remember reading low reviews on the shutter speed, but the problem we were having was with the battery life. Even with the Gps turned off it always seemed to go fast. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a new problem that I haven't heard of. Sorry I wasn't much help but it seems this product is flawed

Sorry for late answer. We use our cameras specificly for taking pictures and have never used the GPS feature. Sorry could not be more help.

Thanks for the reply, Craig!Do we need to buy the topo software directly from Garmin, or does Amazon carry it? (I couldn't find it here.) Will we need an extra memory card to hold the topo data for a region? I'm trying to figure out what the total expense will be for all the add-ons we'll want/need before we choose a unit.If you were choosing between an eTrex and a GPSMAP unit today, which would you choose?Thanks again!

Google the sellers name and reviews. I have found that all the sellers I checked that were below the average street price of about $2700 were bait and switch shops. If you didn't buy their overpriced accessories they would tell you that the camera was out of stock.

This is kind of an odd request, in that only you can answer the "why?". What is it that YOU need or are looking for in a GPS? By reading the descriptions and a few reviews on each, you may get better information on the different feature set of each unit. A good place for professional reviews is gpsmagazine.com. FYI, all Garmin units will route you pretty much the same no matter the price.Good luck on your search.

Yes its a rippoff-its still better to pay the 99 bloodmoney than spend twice as much for thesame item(some tweeks that improve it but nothing substantial). I really don't want a GPS(or cell for that matter) to take pictures, be a Mp3 etc. As good as the other companies-some advantages, some disadvantages.

WHAT, THEN, IS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET A CLEAR ANSWER ON WHAT GPS ONE SHOULD BUY FOR THE CAR. ARE THERE ACTUALLY UNITS IN THIS PRICE RANGE THAT ARE RELIABLE? IF SO, WHAT ARE THEY?

A memory card is the only thing you'll get. The GPS unit is sold separately. It is what it shown in the picture.

for $65 you also want a gps? the higher priced models have it built in. not sure why you need a gps position[latitude/longitude] recorded, but it does have an input for an external gps. I bought mine just for video proof if I'm in an accident

When we got the magellan it had a $150 back up camera that was a option. We bought the camera and it works well. I installed it myself and it was fairly easy.

Anyone who has purchased this: Can you please tell me how the software is? Does it glitch? Is it slow or fast? How does the navigation work? Is it completely different then Google Maps?

Want to know if map updates are available for this GPS? Free or not. if not, in a year or two maps tend to become unreliable. Want to know how much cost?
