Rebel XTI GPS add on availability

carolrichie1313 — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 12:36:56 GMT

Has anyone added GPS to a Rebel XTI? I see that Canon makes a GPS unit but I'm not sure if it works with my camera. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!!

The camera manual doesn't mention GPS, so I have my doubts that it supports an external GPS device.

The best place to go for these kinds of questions is the system map in the manual:

No mention of GPS - not surprising for a camera this old.

Your best bet is to get something that saves .gpx files (I use a Garmin Foretrex) and software on the PC to geocode. On the Mac, I use HoudahGeo.

Thank you so much for your input. I love the camera, but miss the gps function of newer cameras. I was hoping for an add on, but so it goes.

Even if you love your 1955 deSoto, don't be surprised if it does not have airbags.
