On triangulating errors

•If you mov e to another location right after
setting the GPS switch to ON, it may take
a longer time for the camcorder to start
triangulating, compared to when you stay
in the same place.
•Error caused by the position of GPS
satellites
The camcorder automatically triangulates
your current location when the camcorder
receives radio signals from 3 or more GPS
satellites. The triangulating error allowed
by the GPS satellites is about 30 m (98
feet). Depending on the environment of
the location, the triangulating error can be
greater. In this case, your actual location
may not match the location on the map
based on the GPS information.
Meanwhile, the GPS satellites are
controlled by the Unites States
Department of Defense, and the degree of
accuracy may be changed intentionally.
•Error durin g the triangulating process
The camcorder acquires location
information every second during
triangulating.

On the restriction of use of GPS on an

airplane

During take off and landing of an airplane,
set the GPS switch to OFF and turn off the
camcorder, as you will be instructed to do
by the on-board announcement. In other
cases, use GPS in accordance with the
regulations of the place or situation.
