Reliable GPS receiver for the Nikon 1 V2 with low power consumption

The GPS receiver is very small, light and only needs to be plugged to the hot shoe. He does not need a battery. Nevertheless, he emptied the camera battery relatively little that is not self-evident. There is latitude and longitude, and the height of the camera menu displayed or written to the EXIF ​​file of the photo. In Lightroom, iPhoto, etc. so you get a good overview on maps where you have created the picture and therefore a good overview of your route. Furthermore, you can automatically set the camera clock with high accuracy, because it is included in the GPS signal. One must not, however, and can deselect this option in the camera software.

Also GPS data can (but you do not) purely read via USB before, so that the GPS is quickly ready for use.

In slightly overcast sky or when there are no clouds, especially in warm holiday destinations, the GPS receiver is very fast, the position generally below 30 seconds. At times capped German weather usually less than 1 minute. Only with proper rain, there is often no GPS reception. If the weather is not too bad, GPS works even in rooms (unless you're in the basement) quite well. The GPS receiver is therefore perfect for everyday use.

Yes, it would have been nice, Nikon had already installed the GPS. But the price is acceptable and the small size matches the Nikon. 1
