Location Data - Nikon D500 User Manual

Location Data

A GPS unit can be connected to the ten-pin remote terminal,
allowing the current latitude, longitude, altitude, Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC), and heading to be recorded with each
photograph taken. The camera can be used with optional GP-1
and GP-1A GPS units (see below; note that these units do not
provide the compass heading), or with compatible third-party
units connected via an optional MC-35 GPS adapter cord
(0 334).
❚❚ GP-1/GP-1A GPS Units
These optional GPS units are designed for use with Nikon digital
cameras. For information on connecting the unit, see the
manual provided with the device.
