About the "GPS"
GPS is an abbreviation of [Global Positioning System], which is a system that allows you to
check your position utilizing GPS satellites.
Calculating the current position by receiving radio waves including orbit information and clock
information from multiple GPS satellites is called positioning.
This unit is also compatible with the "GLONASS" satellite positioning system operated by the
Russian government.
The unit can record location name information and latitude/longitude for the recorded image
and automatically correct the time.
