Ordered without gps logger. If I order logger separately, will I then see the gps settings in the menu, as I currently do not?

If you ordered without the gps logger you will not get GPS at all. The gps enabled device and non-gps enabled device are different.

As far as I can tell the only time that GPS is usable is when viewing recordings on a computer. There is a small CD that has the GPS program and interface. The logger files are just the data collected that the software uses to display info on the PC. You cannot see GPS data on the Camera.

To be honest I can't tell you. Also, E_PRANCE lost my returned camera and never issued me my $100+ I spent on the unit. If you order the unit do not send it back for repair.

It has GPS, but most people found the software implementation to be seriously lacking. It takes a while to update your position. I've read that this has been fixed in the FroYo pre-release that was leaked, though, so it may be better once the official release hits in September.

Hi, GPS is separated from the laser. So yes, you can use only the rangefinder without starting the GPS unit.

no gps. Maybe it can be installed as an external unit but the screen wouldn't be good to look at maps. this is a single din unit.

For the price difference, I opted to do without. However, take along an old fashioned "analog" compass with you. They can be purchased from any sporting goods store for ten bucks or less. (Never go without a compass in the bush. Batteries have been known to expire when out int he field, then your GPS will be worthless.)

Unless the ad states that the GPS has the latest firmware I don't think there is any way to tell. When/if you get the GPS load the free software program VantagePoint from Magellan, it will update the firmware, this is a very handy program.I hope this helps.

I've been told that gps guru is going to have a working site soon. I've been waiting for 2 months, as of this time there is no support site and no way of contacting the company gps guru4 directly, as was the case when I bought my unit 3 years ago.

I am waiting for delivery but before I ordered I found manual plus instructions for set up etc... Just do a search for Peaklife Open GPS Setup and you should find the info you need

We updated it at GARMINs website. It is relatively easy to do. I think we needed the serial number of the unit. It does take awhile - we left it update over night.

I have lifetime FREE updates of software and maps. I'm very happy with the GPS. I just want to re-find that wonderful screen again.

We decided to get the one withOUT GPS and haven't missed it one time. I guess unless you're really hardcore its not needed. I would say get a GPS for tracking and a camera for pictures but don't mix the two.

No. This device is only a camera. The GPS exits solely to "print" the current latitude, longitude, and speed onto the video. It also automatically sets the date and time for you. The GPS data is not maintained as a separate file.

I let the GPS logger run without any adjustment and reset only my camera(s) to the new time zone. I correct the offset later when I geotag my photos with Adobe Lightroom. The newer versions of LR make this really easy.

8 wasn't able to find anything either. I took the risk and bought the unit. Turns out its a pretty good GPS. Only issue I have is the time on it is not always correct. Wish I could help more.

It has a smart bay and most units have some sort of CD/DVD Unit plugged into it but no all. It may be just a read or read write unit depending on original order. No GPS capability built in, would be an add on.
