Rebel XTI GPS add on availability

[carolrichie1313]

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.
