GPS

This menu entry has options for using the Nikon GP-1 Global Positioning System (GPS) device, shown mounted on my D7000 in Figure 10.5. It has three options, none of which turn GPS features on or off, despite the misleading “Enable” and “Disable” nomenclature (what you’re enabling and disabling is the automatic exposure meter turn-off ):

Auto meter-off.You can choose Enable or Disable. Enabling reduces battery drain by allowing the D7000 to turn off exposure meters while using the GP-1 after the time specified in CSM #c2 (Auto meter-off delay, discussed in Chapter 9) has elapsed. When the meters turn off, the GP-1 becomes inactive and must reac- quire at least three satellite signals before it can begin recording GPS data once more. When you choose Disable, the exposure meters to remain on while using the GP-1, so that GPS data can be recorded at any time, despite increased battery drain.
