2) The GPS log flashes on the top screen on the camera. Is there anywhere to view the longitude or latitude on the actual Camera?
There is limited reading on this new GPS functionality for the Canon 5d Mark iv ?? Ive tried with no luck from the EOS Utility Instruction Manual 3.5M_E_00 but the PGS log files not appearing.
3) I'm also interested in the 'compass' information, which was marketed in Canon's press release details. There was another 7D post on this but my camera menu doesn't allow that functionality?
any assistance very much appreciated !
First you need to make sure that GPS logging is enabled.
Bottom menu choice
Under that menu choice there is also a Set up menu where you need to manually transfer the log files from the camera to the memory card (second menu choice).
Then the files can be downloaded from the memory card using the Canon Map Utility.
From the Canon map utility they can be exported as a standard KMZ file for use in Google Earth or other programs.
Also in the Canon Map Utility you can load images and display directional information.
The information on this photo show it was taken facing 56 degrees.
