Setup of the camera

If the camera has acquired location information using the built-in GPS 
feature, this information is recorded in the images or movies at that 
location.
Using the supplied software “PMB,” you can import images recorded with 
location information to a computer and enjoy viewing them with a map 
which shows their shooting location. See “PMB Help” for details.
