The Canon GP-E2 External GPS Unit is a rugged and compact, high-sensitivity, high-precision GPS module for ascertaining current latitude, longitude and elevation and automatically geotagging image metadata when used with the latest Canon DSLR cameras. The built-in GPS logger can also be used with all EOS digital cameras as a standalone device for manually geotagging images. A Built-in digital compass allows adding of shooting direction data to images’ location on a map. The unit also features a Time Synchronization function that updates the time setting in the camera.

Compatible with the following Canon EOS DSLR cameras

7D^† / 5D Mark III^ / 1DX

^The EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 7D require a firmware upgrade to be compatible with the GPS Receiver GP-E2, which will be available soon.
†When the EOS 7D is used with the GP-E2 the following restrictions will apply: a) geotagging function will not work for movies while recording; b) geotagging features will not work for movies when using the Map Utility; c) electronic compass information and automatic time setting is not available; d) transmission via the hot shoe is not possible. USB cable connection must be used.
