About the information of recording location
Location names of the recording locations or landmarks (such as name of the building etc.) are 
as of December 2010. Information will not be updated.
Depending on the country or the region, there may be less information for location names and 
landmark names.
About the positioning
It will take longer for positioning in an environment where it is harder to receive the radio waves 
from the GPS satellites
Even if the receiving condition of the radio waves is excellent, it may take 2 to 3 minutes 
to complete the positioning when performing positioning for the first time or when you 
perform positioning after turning on the power again after turning the power off with the 
[GPS Setting] set to [
] or [OFF].
The positions of the GPS satellites are changing constantly, so positioning may not be 
performed or the information may have errors depending on the recording location or 
conditions.
When used during overseas travel etc.
The GPS may not operate in China or close to the Chinese border in neighbouring countries.
