Introduction; Before Use - Canon GP-E2 Instruction Manual

Introduction

The GPS Receiver GP-E2 can geotag your shots and record the route
you travel. Using the provided software Map Utility, you can view
shooting locations and the route traveled. The receiver can also set the
camera time via GPS.

Before Use

Before use, check whether your camera menu displays [GPS device
settings].

If [GPS device settings] is not displayed on your EOS 5D Mark III or
EOS 7D camera, update the camera firmware to a version compatible
with the receiver. The menu item will be displayed after you update the
firmware.
