Acquiring location information using the GPS (HDR-CX350V/XR350V)

When you set the GPS switch (p. 75) to ON, appears on the LCD screen, and your camcorder acquires the location information from the GPS satellites. Acquiring the location information enables you to use functions such as the Map Index.

The indicator changes according to the strength of GPS signal reception.

Make sure that the GPS switch is set to OFF during take off and landing of an airplane. Processing time can be shortened when you load the GPS assist data into the camcorder using the supplied software “PMB.” Install “PMB” on your computer (P. 37) and connect the computer to the internet. Then connect the camcorder to the computer and the GPS assist data will be automatically updated.

The GPS assist data may not function in the following cases:

When the GPS assist data are not updated for about 30 days or more When the date and time of the camcorder are not correctly set When the camcorder is moved for a long distance
