Canon WFT-E2 II Using GPS Devices

Using GPS Devices

Commercially available GPS devices connected via USB can obtain information including the latitude, longitude, altitude, and date and time of shooting and add it to images. The additional information can be checked on the camera as well as by using GPS-compatible mapping software.

The transmitter can be used with Garmin GPSMAP or eTrex series or Magellan eXplorist series GPS devices that produce data in the format NMEA 0183 Ver. 3.0.1, as well as some devices that produce Garmin protocol data (as of November 2009).

For a list of specific GPS devices supported, contact the Canon Service Center.

For GPS device instructions, refer to the device’s instruction manual or contact the manufacturer.
