Rebel T6 GP-E2 not working, GPS settings greyed out

[Robrob04]

Hello I just recently purchased a GP-E2 for my rebel T6. I see the settings for GPS but the option is greyed out and the battery light and GPS light at the top of the device are blinking simultaneously every 6 seconds or so. On the manual it states that it is supposed to do that but I still cannot click the GPS device settings. I am also on firmware 1.1.0. Thanks for any help!

Correction, I am updated to 1.2 and it is still greyed out.

Did you use the cable that comes with it?

[Robrob04]

Yes and it still does not work.

Try turning on the GPS before you turn on the camera.

Does the USB port work with the computer?

I am sure not, but are you seeing the GPS symbol when in live view?

You might also make sure that WIFI is off, I think that disables the USB.

Also, make sure you are in a "creative setting" like P. Being in A+ can disable certain menu items.

Yep you are correct. I spoke with a canon representative and he told me the same thing and now it is working. WIFI has to be disabled in order for GPS settings to work.
