The heart of a receiver is a modern sensitive GPS unit (-165dBm) SKYLAB SKG13C ICBAA-1219. It supports 66 channels / 22 satellites, which makes it one of the fastest and most accurate GPS accessories used in photography. In ‘cold start’ mode receiver can determine its position in 36 sec. In the ‘hot start’ mode it takes 1 sec. GPS-N does not require its own battery, because it’s powered from GPS port in a camera. Unlike others, often more expensive receivers available on the market,GPS-N distinguish itself with very low power consumption (35mA in tracking mode and 45mA during start). Practically it means the device is able to work longer than others, what also results with more images per one charging.

GPS-N is equipped with a remote shutter release with 90cm cord and BULB function. The kit contains also a short strap, which can be helpful with mounting a receiver to a camera and to mount the flash on camera hot shoe. Working with GPS-N is extremely easy. Just attach the receiver to camera’s GPS port using proper cable, and turn on both of the devices. The GPS icon starts to flash on the camera’s screen, which means the receiver is determining its position. In some specific environment conditions (forest, tall buildings or electromagnetic interference) it can takes more than 36 sec. A succesful determining will be confirmed with constant light of GPS icon. Geographic location, actual time and altitude data are available in camera menu. From now on, the location information will be saved to the EXIF format.
