## Overview

The Canon GP-E2 GPS Receiver is a compact and lightweight device designed for photographers who want to geo-tag their images and track their photographic journeys. Compatible with select Canon camera models, it provides essential GPS data and time functions, ensuring your images are not just captured but also organized with precision.

## Description

Product Description          The GP-E2 offers GPS tagging and logging abilities to help you to locate exactly where your images are taken. The unit has a universal fitting so it can be used with the EOS 5D Mark III and with other future EOS models.It can be attached to a camera in one of two ways - either directly on to the hotshoe, where the GPS data will be transferred through the hotshoe (with compatible cameras*), or it can be mounted to a bracket and connected to the camera with a cable. When attached to a camera it will provide latitude, longitude, altitude, direction and Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC) to the camera (all of which will be stored in the EXIF data fields).The unit can also be used in a third way: not attached to the camera, but simply stored in your camera bag or in a pocket. When not attached, it cannot provide the GPS data directly to each file created on the camera; instead it stores your location and creates a log file of where you have been. The location is stored at user-defined intervals from every second up to every five minutes. This data is then used with the included Map Utility software. Map Utility shows a map with your GPS track overlaid on it and allows you to attach images to the track log, which will then take the GPS data and apply it to the EXIF fields of the images. Used in this way, the Map Utility software and GP-E2 unit can be used with images from any EOS digital camera.When used in logging mode, the GPS tracks are stored in the unit's internal memory. The more often you set the GP-E2 to log a data point, the faster the internal memory will fill. However, at the default logging interval of 15 seconds, assuming eight hours logging each day there is sufficient space for about two months of logs before the memory fills.(* As of 2 March 2012 compatible cameras are the EOS-1D X and the EOS 5D Mark III.)             Box Contains          1 x Canon GP-E2 GPS Receiver

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know of a way of using the GPS on the hot shoe AND also having a remote flash device (or a remote shutter release / time lapse device)?**
A: I do not think you can attach two devices to the same hotshoe but you an use the cable that comes with the GPS to have it operate off the hotshoe, on your belt in the pouch. I use a 7D body which means I do not get direction of camera recorded with the GPS data so it makes no difference to me whether it is on or off the hotshoe, whereas that is an option with a 5D or 1D. The cable is the way my GPS talks to the 7D, not the hotshoe so I am perfectly happy with this. It is a handy little device and much better than a Jobo GPS I tried out some years ago which did not even place my images in the right country. Hope that helps.

**Q: Can the unit display UK OS Grid References?**
A: This unit does not have a display, but it records Latitude and Longitude which will display the location on suitable map software such as Google Earth. The coordinates can also be read from the EXIF data. There is free software available to transcribe global coordinates to UK OS grid references.

**Q: Dose anyone know if this unit will work with the Canon 1300d, many thanks.**
A: This device works on the 70D and 80D, I suggest that you ask Canon Technical department for the details concerning the 1300D

**Q: Does it work with the Canon 500D?**
A: The Canon GP-E2 GPS Receiver is only compatible for cameras EOS 5D Mark111, EOS 6D, EOS 70D, Rebel 4Ti or any later model that displays GPS settings in it's menu. When used with the 7D the GPS can transfer data only through the <DIGI-TAL> terminal. I use it with my 7D through it's terminal quite successfully.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works...but it's a bit pricey
*by C***E on 30 April 2019*

I have tried it attached to the camera (data passes through the hot shoe, but there is also a cable) adding GPS EXIF data to the images, tick box it worked perfectly. I have also tried it in logging mode where you can just leave it in the car, or your pocket. Later you can attach the data to your images using the software supplied.I imported images into Adobe Lightroom and the images were correctly placed on the map.One but though. If you are used to using your iphone to tag images you might be disappointed as it only tags the GPS data + height above sea level + time/date logged. It does not log the location details, i.e. Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, etc that the iphone does.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ GPS for Pro Canon SLR's
*by C***E on 9 September 2012*

The Canon GP-E2 is an expensive GPS sensor that works with Pro Canon SLR's(1d, 5dMk3 and the 7d via a firmware update.) Given the ages of the camera's there are some mixed features; if you have the full frame cameras you get a complete and sophisticated automated tagging of your photos; GPS position (latitude, longitude and elevation), direction the camera is facing as well as the GPS time the photo was taken. If you have the 7d you lose the direction but that is all.The newer camera's can set their internal clock via the GPS which is a really great feature but absent on the 7d; the only remaining missing trick for 7d users is you have to connect the receiver using an included USB cable; the full frame camera's communicating via their flash hotshoe.. Using the cable will compromise the weather seals in order to connect the usb cable; so If its raining you can put the receiver into logging mode; place it in the included pouch and attach it to your belt or camera strap. You can configure the interval using the supplied software between 1 second to 5 minutes over a limited number of steps -and it has enough memory to store several days logs even when running at 1 second.) The included software will do its best to tag your photos with the correct location based on the log and the software also lets you export the tracks to the google earth format which you can import into Aperture or Lightroom. To transfer the logs to your computer you will need the cable supplied with your camera (or another mini usb - pc usb cable) to connect the unit to your machine to transfer the logs.The GP-E2 itself is quite large considering the sparsity of controls and incdicators (see uploaded images for a reference against the 7d) - almost as large as canon's smallest speedlight (see the attached photos) but it isn't as heavy; - even after you add an AA battery - that Canon don't include.There is only one control; a robust feeling switch you can move between off, on and log. There are two indicator lights that use a flashing sequence to indicate their status; im guessing they didnt include a screen to prolong the battery life but its not very user friendly. It gets a fix quickly and seems to hold it quite well in even in a city centre. I used a lithium battery with it; and it hasn't gone flat after several hours of life; canon claims up to 9 hours on a battery so with the logging running so it should last you a day in the field.If you have an older incompatible camera the GP-E2 is exceptionally expensive for a GPS logger and the included software might not be able to your images (i don't have an older canon slr to test it.) Canon have shown some miserly penny pinching by not including the USB cable to connect to your computer nor an AA battery lost them a star. Eventually the GPS chip will make it into the camera's themselves. For now if you have a compatible camera the GP-E2 is as good as having it built in your camera for the simplicity of tagging your photos; just be sure to pack some Sanyo Eneloop AA batteries when you take your next trip.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ can't wait to use properly as will make it easy to see where you have been and easier to ...
