  • Page 97: Precautions When Using The Hybrid-Gps

    Precautions when Using the Hybrid-GPS • Better GPS satellite wave reception can be attained by holding the camera still with the GPS antenna pointed towards the sky. • Since GPS satellites are constantly moving, your location, the time of day, and other conditions may cause it to take some time before positioning can be performed.
  • Page 98 • The Hybrid-GPS is able to provide position information (latitude and longitude) even under conditions where waves cannot be received from GPS satellites. However, relying solely on the motion sensor for long periods where GPS satellite reception conditions are poor, under an underpass or on a steel bridge, or in the vicinity of buildings, pedestrian bridges, electrical equipment, steel desks, steel chairs, or other objects that generate magnetism can result in bearing, latitude, and longitude reading errors.
